Marc Andreessen described in his article in The Wall Street Journal in 2011: “Software is eating the world”. We have witnessed how software has become a core element that drives our economy and even our daily lives! Seeing that change, What is the future of IT? That is a fascinating question to ask but extremely hard to answer. Confucius said, “You need to study the past to define the future.” So, let's ask ourselves the following question: What has changed our society and industry in the past decades?
Let us take some historical events that changed our society and industry in ways we would never have expected.
If you look at the waves of change, what can we learn from them, and what are the implications for the way we can expect the future to unfold? How do these things impact us as human beings, and how do we deal with this constant rate of innovation and change?
By looking at all these changes and how we dealt with them, we might be able to see what is ahead of us.
Interestingly enough, patterns can be discovered that tap into human and organizational behavior, from which we can derive what, for example, the new wave of AI might bring us. In this session, I will share the patterns you can see when a new change surfaces and how we adopt this in our work. If there is one thing you will learn from this session, the future is nearer to your heart than you think.

This inspirational session will guide you through the waves of change in our industry and help you see and think beyond what you hear and see on all the information channels you tap into every day!
