Is it possible to do more with less? In surviving a pandemic (or going in that direction), what’s next!

2020-21 delivered one of the biggest disruptions to modern life and economy that most of us have ever experienced. Albeit, the impact of these “disruptions” varied greatly depending on your positioning within our economic system. At the same time, we’ve struggled to better address a long list of social and cultural issues, not to mention the existential threat of climate change. While most of us agree on the “17” Sustainable Development Goals, what’s far less agreeable is how we will achieve them. If you do the math (and many have) sustainability is not sustainable, it’s too slow, arbitrary, and it’s not “scalable” for what’s really needed. Love it or hate it, the forces of disruptive innovation and dematerialization might just save us (spoiler alert – it’s already happening).

Join Graham and numerous other presenters considering a broad range of important topics at the Economic Summit October 27 & 28.

The Geography of Disruption is sponsored by Reliable Controls.
