Keynote
The Future Formula
In search of the rules of tomorrow.
We live in the Great Disequilibrium, an era marked by radical transformations that are no longer a choice but a necessity due to external pressure.
In "The Future Formula," Jo Caudron discusses the key challenges and changes facing modern society and economy.
The 'Old Normal', which emerged after World War II, is nearing its end. We are confronted with urgent issues such as climate change, migration, technological and societal disruptions, and sudden system shocks such as pandemics, wars, and the rapid rise of AI. The welfare state as we know it is under pressure.
These factors force us to think about new rules for the future: we must reevaluate our vision of the planet, sustainability, economy, and society.
In this presentation, Jo offers his 'Future Formula', a method for companies and organizations to identify challenges and map out the problems ahead. He explores how various radical innovations in the field of products, sourcing, and especially business models can contribute to sustainable solutions for a better society and economy.
