Technology is shaping, growing and changing the way we work faster than we can imagine.
“The next 5 years will be more disruptive than the last 15. This is NOT business as usual. A lot of technology that came in three years ago doesn’t work anymore.” [Saul Berman, Chief Strategist, IBM]
“In today’s era of volatility, there is no other way but to re-invent. The only sustainable advantage you can have over others is agility, that’s it.” [Jeff Bezos, CEO and President, Amazon]
