    Encore: Mega Trend: Future Finance
    Nov 19 2019
    The buzz: “I saw a bank that said '24 Hour Banking,' but I don’t have that much time” (Steven Wright). The mega trend of Future Finance is seeing new players inside and outside the traditional financial services industry offering innovative digital services and opening new markets to legacy banks and insurers, and non-banks and non-insurers. The writing is on the wall for traditional providers to adapt business models to the digital economy and embrace new technologies to meet customer expectations. The experts speak. Mike Basque, Atom Digital Network: “Knowledge without wisdom is a load of books on the back of an ass” (Japanese proverb). Jerry Silva, IDC Financial Insights: “Do not try and bend the spoon, that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth...there is no spoon. Then you'll see that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself” (The Matrix). Olaf Schoenfelder, SAP: “Don't dream your life, live your dreams” (Miasha).

    Encore: Future Cities: Where Will YOU Live, Work and Play in 2050?
    Oct 22 2019
    The buzz: “…to be successful a city has to be open to continuous development, free to evolve and grow with the demands of new times” (P.D. Smith). The world population could reach 9.8 billion by 2050, with nearly 70 percent living in urban areas. Urban infrastructures and public services are already struggling to keep pace. But cities have unlimited potential as dynamic networks that become thriving economic and cultural hubs. Can data and IoT competitively attract businesses and services to build cities where people love to live, work and play? The experts speak. Matt Broffman, City of Orlando, “The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing” (Walt Disney). Mike Eberhardt, SAP Hybris: “Have I gone mad?” “I’m afraid so, you’re entirely Bonkers. But I’ll tell you a secret …All the best people are!” (Lewis Carroll). Simone Maienfisch, SAP: “Never give in, never, never, never…” (Winston Churchill).

    Encore: Mega Trends: Trusted Products
    Sep 24 2019
    The buzz: “Brands are all about trust. Trust is earned in drops but lost in buckets!” (Kevin Plank). About 64% of consumers and companies worldwide buy or boycott a brand – food, components, spare parts, raw materials, chemicals, software, data – solely based on its position and practices on a social or environmental issue that matters to them. Reality check: in a global economy with complex supply networks, the challenge of gaining and maintaining trust grow with the distance between producer and consumer. Can new technologies help create trusted products, leading to higher revenues and customer satisfaction and loyalty? The experts speak. Tony Costa, Bumble Bee Foods: “If you can dream it, you can do it” (Walt Disney). Jeff Howell, SAP: “Chance favors the prepared mind“ (Louis Pasteur). Tom Kohnen, SAP: “Trust is like a mirror, you can fix it if it's broken, but you can still see the crack in that [bleep] reflection” (Lady Gaga). Join us for Mega Trends: Trusted Products.
