138: Daniel Burrus - The Anticipatory Organization

I want to start off by thanking John David Mann for introducing me to Daniel Burrus.  His latest book, The Anticipatory Organization has the potential to change the entire trajectory of your life and business, if you are willing to be open to what is laid out in its pages. What if you could see the future? Well you can. You actually see it each day yet we don't take action on what we "know" can be the next big or small thing that can shift the status quo. During this interview, Daniel and I discuss just a few of his proven strategies to accelerate innovation and transform results. He explains how to turn disruption and change into opportunity and advantage. I have not stopped talking about this book, or this interview, since I read it and held the interview. Learn about hard trends and soft trends and how to tell the difference. Learn how to be the disruptor versus being disrupted. Learn how to anticipate change and disruption in a way that puts you in charge. Expand your definition and your thinking. Forget post mortems and do pre-mortems. Pay close attention because Daniel reveals several opportunities ripe for developing and he offers a free hardcopy of his book to my listeners.  Daniel Burrus is considered one of the world's leading technology forecasters and innovation experts. He is the CEO of Burrus Research, a research and consulting firm that monitors global advances in technology driven trends to help clients profit from technological, social and business forces that are converging to create enormous, untapped opportunities.
