Key Drivers of the Digital Future: What the Next 10 Years Hold

Ray Hammond is Europe’s most experienced and most widely published futurologist. For over 30 years he has researched,

written and spoken about how future trends will affect society and business. As faster technological innovation, globalization and the environmental challenge continue to be priorities Ray is one of a few commentators equipped to explain how these massive challenges will affect our futures, the way we do business and the far reaching implications socially, economically and politically.

Ray Hammond Futurologist

“Trains, Planes and … Toilet Cleaners!” — Creating a Success Culture in an IT Environment

Hamish will use war stories from his own experiences both as a CEO/customer of IT and as a driver of growth and innovation, to

challenge us in four key areas that will help us to think differently about the role we can play at the forefront of business success.

1. Challenging the way we “understand” our customers

2. Changing the platform for IT activities

3. Changing the way we engage with our team to drive performance

4. Challenging our thinking!
