Futureproofing 101: A Masterclass with Craig Wing

Crucial Conversations

Step into the future with Craig Wing, a visionary futurist, PhD candidate, and global keynote speaker who has graced stages in over 45 countries. In an era where the boundaries of the physical, digital, and biological worlds are increasingly intertwined, Craig, with his expertise in emergent futures thinking and disruptive technologies, offers a unique lens to view the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. He astutely observes, "If the work can be done by a machine, it's disrespectful to give it to a human being."

Having consulted with the UN, moderated the 10th BRICs summit, and even turned down an opportunity with one of Richard Branson’s companies, Craig's experiences provide a rich tapestry of insights. Dive deep into the art of "futureproofing," exploring everything from the intricacies of the fourth industrial revolution to the ethical dilemmas of AI. As he challenges us to reflect on our current stance, he reminds us, "The education system is a systems issue. You don't fix it by saying, 'let's create more jobs.'"

Whether you're an entrepreneur, a corporate leader, or simply curious about the trajectory of our world, this masterclass is your compass. With Craig's thought-provoking assertion, "By 25, I wasn't black, white, or anything in between. What was I?", he invites listeners to ponder identity, technology, and the transformative landscape ahead, all while sharing tales from his own journey – from converting his car to electric to hosting sessions at the African Innovation Symposium.
