We all know 2020 has been a year of disruption. We have faced unprecedented challenges this year. But when a business, an industry or a sector gets disrupted you have two choices.  You can ignore the changes going on around you or you can proactively begin to innovate your approach.  In this episode, speaker, author and all-round good guy Gihan Perera shares some of the insights from his latest book about how to navigate the disruption caused by a global pandemic and how to build a plan that will see your business thriving again in 2021 and beyond. 

Australia and the UK will commence formal trade negotiations on a free trade deal, futurist Gihan Perera outlines how food and beverage businesses can bounce back after COVID-19 and South Australia's easing border restrictions have given hope that important events for isolated far north residents will go ahead.

It wasn’t all that long ago that you could rely on what worked in the past to take you into the future. But, with the rate of change in technology, you can't necessarily rely on your past strengths. That's according to business futurist Gihan Perera, who says the biggest change to your business will potentially come from outside your industry and from businesses that might not even exist today. He says there are three things to determine whether your own business is vulnerable. You must ask yourself if your business is fast, flat and free.

If the database you'd built for years was hacked and destroyed, would it be the end of the world? Or could you replicate most of your data fairly quickly using other more modern ways of gathering data? Futurist Gihan Perera, in this podcast, throws down the challenge to innovate - particularly in relation to startups that may not have the same assets, resources and strengths as you do. If they don't need them, do you? How can you take advantage of younger talent in your business? How can you remove experiences that are slow, bumpy and unpleasant for your customers? "The opposite of fast, free and flat is slow, bumpy, and expensive. So if you want to know the biggest potential disruption points in your business and in the industry as a whole look at what is slow, bumpy or expensive..." - Gihan Perera Some of the topics we discussed include: How 'starting from scratch thinking' can give you a competitive advantage over would-be disruptorsWhy 'disruption' does not have to have a negative meaningWhy not all change is disruptive or negative - change is something the younger generation in your business actually enjoys!A framework to brainstorm with the team and get your business “fit for the future”.Testing what you know to be true - and avoiding what Gihan calls the “zone of delusion” - where experienced people no longer question what they believe, regardless of the evidence around themCritically looking at the tools you currently use - would you replace them with something different if you had to start over?The concept of 'reverse mentoring' and why you should give it a try...
