Technology Revolution: The Future of Now

The buzz: "People are hungry for stories. It's part of our very being" (Studs Terkel). Everyone loves, craves, and has a story. But many companies approach prospects and customers with boring, crammed power point slides devoid of action, conflict and emotion. Did you forget that these people are human? Solution: Frame your information like an action movie–with a hero and a villain–that your potential buyer would watch in a theater, as they munch popcorn. Why? Powerful storytelling can propel your sales effort to a new level of trust and customer loyalty. The experts speak. Michael Margolis, Get Storied: "Those who tell the stories, rule the world" (Plato). Heidi Berenson, Berenson Communications: "Does anyone have questions for my answers?" (Henry Kissinger). Janis Fratamico, SAP: "When you slip on a banana peel, people laugh at you. But when you tell people you slipped on a banana peel, it's your laugh" (Nora Ephron).

The buzz: "Impossible is not a fact. It is an opinion" (Muhammad Ali).A unique clustering of inventions in the century after the U.S. Civil War improved the American and European standard of living – human well-being – more than any period before or after, with advances in everything from food and energy to health and work. Can our current innovation explosion have a similar impact despite unintended consequences? Three futurists speak. Frank Diana, TCS: "I cannot discover that anyone knows enough about anything on this earth definitely to say what is and what is not possible" (Henry Ford). Gerd Leonhard, Futurist: "In dealing with the future, it is far more important to be imaginative than to be right" (Alvin Toffler, Future Shock). Timo Elliott, SAP: "The real problem of humanity is that we have paleolithic emotions; medieval institutions; and god-like technology. And it is terrifically dangerous" (E. O. Wilson).
