The Good Future: Gerd’s Most Popular Keynote
Amidst the fears and everyday realities of war and more pandemics, the urgency to address global warming and the societal challenges of technological hyper-transformation, the world continues to change at a mind-boggling pace. The radical and once unthinkable climate emergency measures, such as new carbon taxes (for airline tickets or for buying meat) are becoming increasingly likely as consumers and concerned citizens around the world push for real and unheard-of change.
Why and how “People-Planet-Purpose and -Prosperity” is the key to our Future
On top of the many challenges brought on by the pandemic and the Russia/Ukraine war, the urgency to address global warming and the mounting societal challenges of technological hyper-transformation, the world continues to change at a mind-boggling pace. The radical and once unthinkable climate-emergency measures like new carbon taxes (such as for aviation or for eating meat) are becoming increasingly likely as consumers and concerned citizens around the world push for real change. At the same time, Company CEOs are touting their new commitments to stakeholder values, not just shareholder values. Tensions abound.
What kind of future do we want? Is our current economic logic even suitable for the future? Will ‘free and open markets’ deliver solutions for these complex global issues?
“Green New Deals” are blossoming everywhere. New funding is flowing into climate change adaptation and mitigation, with potentially 10s of Millions of new jobs in sustainability-focused sectors in the near future. The global shift towards a new kind of capitalism will reboot markets around the world in the next 5–7 years as we transition from the outdated single bottom line of GDP-Growth and Profit to what I call the quadruple bottom-line: People, Planet, Purpose and Prosperity * aka sustainable capitalism, post-capitalism or conscious capitalism.

THIS IS WHAT GERD'S VIRTUAL KEYNOTES LOOK LIKE
FUTURIST AND VIRTUAL SPEAKER
Gerd offers several virtual engagement options:
An online event or conference with all speakers and all audience members participating remotely (no real-life audience or physical venue). Gerd can provide a customized virtual keynote on these topics (among many others – please inquire). A package with other great speakers led by him, or a host, moderating and guiding the entire event for you is another one of his offers.
A real-life or hybrid conference in a physical location, with Gerd contributing a bespoke keynote remotely (using Zoom, Google Meet, Webex, MSFT Teams, Crowdcast, Vimeo Live, Hopin, or any other preferred platform).
A pre-recorded, and custom-produced keynote on a specified topic that is presented in HD-video formats at internal events or on the client’s intranet or via a special web page (not real-time and online). This is often combined with a post-screening online Q&A session (if desired).
