CILT Webinar with Futurist Sean Culey on Disruption and the Future

Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, stated in 2016; “We stand on the brink of a technological revolution that will fundamentally alter the way we live, work, and relate to one another. In its scale, scope, and complexity, the transformation will be unlike anything humankind has experienced before.”

COVID-19 has catapulted the world into this technological revolution. Companies wanting to survive and thrive are being forced to embrace the digital age.

Leading futurist, author and globally recognised business transformation expert Sean Culey will be speaking at an upcoming webinar of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport on 9 September.  He will share his thoughts on the future of the logistics, transport and supply chain industries.

Sean’s most recent book Transition Point: From Steam to the Singularity  examines the causes of technological progress and how the current wave of change will disrupt our business models, economy and society at large. The book explores what impact this wave have on our businesses, our economies and most importantly, on our society. Culey explores how our current trajectory could result in a new golden age, but also how it is just as likely to result in a digital dictatorship of compliance and constant surveillance. Finally, he explains why we may soon see Homo sapiens’ role as the dominant species come to an end.

Sean has 25 years of experience in supply chain transformation, including 10 years as the Design Authority on a $600m global SAP implementation, 6 years as CEO of a boutique business consultancy and VP of Marketing for a supply chain analytics company.
