KEYNOTE OVERVIEW
The Five-Year Future
One year is too short. Ten is fiction.
We can action the five-year future.

Keynote Description
Harnessing today
to shape What Happens Next.™
Jonathan Brill has guided today’s top companies as they future-proof their operations with proven strategies to win. Now, he’s here to show you how to do the same as you prepare for AI and beyond.
The next few years might be crazy, but your business doesn’t have to be. If you understand three things, you can dramatically increase your power to shape what happens next.
Why five? One year is too short. Ten is fiction. We can action the five-year future. It’s close enough to know a lot about AI, society, geopolitics and economics — yet it’s far enough to reinvent.
It’s fine to plan just for this year, or year three—but when you get there it sure helps to have prepared. The decisions you make now will determine how well you can adapt to the changes AI will bring in the next five years.
To move from asking what happens next to inventing it, you need to understand three things:
-
The causes are already here — if you look for them.
The societal
The economic
The geopolitical
The technological trends
They are all happening at the same time. When they collide, how will they impact you?
-
The future — it isn’t a straight path. There’s always a surprise around the bend, but — if you look — you can often see its shadow poking out.
How often do you think about that corner? And what’s just beyond it?
When you give yourself time to change your options, you change what you control.
-
Your future is your most valuable resource. It’s the only thing you can affect.
What is the most important fact you already know, the one you aren’t acting on — but should? What decisions must you make today, this year? In the next three — to thrive for five?
Outcomes and Experiences
By the end of this transformative keynote, you’ll know exactly:
How AI, economics, social and geopolitical trends drive the next five years.
The science-based frameworks that will create the best outcomes for your business, your family and your life.

"An actionable framework for driving change, instead of being blindsided by it."
