(Non)-Executive Crash Course - Technology Trends Shaping Our Future

Understanding the current technological landscape and its associated opportunities, challenges, and risks is now essential for both executive and non-executive board members. 

Equally important is staying informed about governance issues related to these technologies, including regulatory challenges and potential pitfalls. 

There is now way around it anymore, in order to set the company's vision and strategy, the board must understand how technology impacts the business and its future value creation.

This executive crash course will teach you about the most relevant technologies shaping our future in a way non-technical people can understand. After this training you are able to apply your newly won knowledge to your business. 

Content

In this half day training I will teach you about;

> Artificial Intelligence
> Virtual Reality
> Augmented Reality
> Robotics
> Internet of Things
> Edge Computing
> Cyber Security
> Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies

We will discuss the opportunities, challenges, and risks of these technologies. I will present examples of companies that had success and failures with implementing them.

This training will be highly interactive. Ask any questions you have at the moment they occur. Only this way we will create the necessary understanding.

> Startup investors that want to be able to make better investment decisions and improve their technical due diligence capabilities. 

Client Outcomes

Our first session on crypto currency with two ‘guru’s’ of the scene had been a complete flop. So, the challenge that Henrico was facing was big: how to help experienced people from the old economy understand the mechanism and the economical meaning of the blockchain and cryptocurrencies. The result was a complete success, so much that we repeated the session with another group and it was a success again! The pedagogical ability of Henrico is amazing! He finds very simple ways to describe complex concepts. We are very enthusiastic and look forward to a session with him on AI! - General Manager of Business Angels Switzerland 
We as the company swisspartners, had the pleasure to experience Henrico as a presenter of the six technology mega trends. His knowledge and ability to make these trends understandable to laypeople are extraordinary. The whole company has extremely benefited from Henrico's presentation. Even after his visit he provided additional information regarding the mentioned topics. If you are looking for someone who is able to explain very technical topics understandable, especially to "amateurs", Henrico is the man. - Portfolio Manager @ swisspartners
Henrico can simplify any AI/blockchain/IT topic, summarize it and extract the essence for investors to make proper technical due diligence. Well done! - Managing Director @ Reinhart Capital
