KEYNOTE: EXPONENTIAL GOVERNMENT: WHY GOVERNMENT INNOVATION IS THE KEY TO KEEPING UP WITH EXPONENTIAL CHANGE
Dustin Haisler, Chief Innovation Officer, e.Republic
The world we know is changing at exponential speed. The iPhone has eclipsed the Blackberry, mobile devices are displacing PCs, the cloud is radically challenging long-held assumptions about data centers, and the Internet of Things is redefining connectivity. What we regard as state of the art today will look quaint tomorrow as exponential technologies unlock individual, organizational, and societal potential. This session provides a tour of the meta-trends that are reshaping our communities – demographics, economics, methods of work, customer expectations and the relevance of governmental institutions — all annotated with real world examples. By the end, you'll have a clearer picture of what Exponential Government will look like, how it will act, and why your actions today can lead you to a preferred exponential future and a more perfect union.
