The Futures Agency’s CEO, Gerd Leonhard is fortunate to be part of a group of 62 leading futurists that compiled their ideas and visions in the amazing ‘The Future of Business’ book, edited by our partner, friend, colleague and publisher Rohit Talwar. The book is a fantastic read and the 500+ pages are worth every minute you spend on them. The book was released in the summer and is starting to gain serious traction globally. Please consider buying the book using the link above (use discount code GL1 for 10% off) or via Amazon (ebook or print)
Today, we are delighted to present this narrated version of Gerd’s chapter as a beautifully produced audio-visual ‘meditation’, as a free MP3 podcast or download (see below), and as a free PDF of the entire chapter.
This video represents a very unique experiment; a rich but very atmospheric 28-minute contemplation narrated by Gerd himself, rather than the usual keynotes or presentations. A very big thank-you goes to the producer and art director Jean Francois Cardella and his team (Sylvain and Jeremy) for working long and hard on this idea and giving it an entirely new creative direction. You guys rock!
Our only request is that if you use these resources and if you like Gerd’s chapter, we would like you to kindly consider either buying or gifting the book, or reviewing it on Amazon or Goodreads, or recommend it on social media. Thanks and enjoy!And here below are the links:
