Introducing Tony Surtees and Framing the Knowledge Share
This presentation is about the unique opportunities that have resulted from the current crisis.
Specifically Digital Transformation - realigning and reassessing
This is about being Optimistic about the future
Be optimistic - find the opportunity and ride the wave
Change was going to happen - Covid has just accelerated this change 10X
This is just a part of a cycle - and this is an opportunity for you to be at the forefront of what the changes are going to be.
For Companies, Enterprise and Governments to survive they will need to pivot - entrepreneurs are used to this.
SMEs are going to be key to the economic recovery - and limitation of resources will act as a stimulus to inovation.
Be part of the tailwind - ride the wave
"don't waste a good crisis"
Timing and being ready for Change is key
Timing is key and change is everywhere and ability to be in right time at right place with right value proposition is significant
Changes have been occuring - exponentially - Moores Law - Thngs are happenning faster and cheaper (storage, processing, bandwidth, 5G - Ubiquitous Connectivity

The think tank process
Natalie - The importance of using technology at hand to make your business more efficient so you can focus on nuts and bolts -
Tony
"just because you have a telephone in your business - are you in the telecommunication business?"
Business success of Afterpay and Zip - are they in the technology business or banking business?
Bridge gap with a commercial model - applying the imagination to a commercial model - and then use the technology to solve the problem"
The capacity to ask questions and listen to advice - solve the problem and then use the technology is the key to success
Milind - VR and AI - not much intake why?
Tony
- barrier to entry that you cant leverage the technology in your hand - hardware cliff to be dealt with
Telemedicine and Education - big implications - there will be massive change using these technologies
"Phoria" - make it easy to code VR content
Les - Impact on Covid-19 working from home and Productivity - whats your view?
Tony

Larry Dorfan - Unpacking the Think Tank with Tony Surtees
Yen, Guy, Adam, Goerge and Laurence
- Quadrant model - where we are and where we need to be
- Blockchain is key going forward - will be as important as internet itself - example of validation of product; use of blockchain and IoT - to track products as its moved internationally - laava

- Investments - if you can afford to lose money - then you cannot afford not to invest
- Great insite from VC - if you can take a punt - take the infoormed decision - upside massive - VC is a powerful asset class

- Challenges of working remotely - security of information - use of multiple latform - each has hook for hackers - oy!! what solutions
- Need for helping SMEs - any change - unless we are innovators we have to wait in line for price to decrease - SMEs dont have capacity to become early adoptors of new technology unless you are an innovator
Natalie Sassoon - The emotional connection to change - use mindset and technologies to propel us forward - both personally and in business.
- The use of mindset and technology as a combination to propel
- "If you are feeling under control, you are not going fast enough."
- "Don't waste a good crisis and taking advantage"
- Use this time to look at our environment and find ways to make it more efficient
- Speed at the way change has happenned from governments to individuals - out of necessity - using substitutes such as zoom and BBG - One tends to adapt to survive
- A great example of innovation is the way we use BBG and Zoom - how technology is working together creating productivity and creativity - allowing us to connect and collaborate.
