Our workshop provides executive leaders a guide to understanding the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the geopolitics that come with it. We offer insights on how to navigate what it means for the industry, business operations and recalibrating value propositions. Participants will learn about the areas of opportunity and risk as well as guidance on how to manage them from a technology and geopolitical perspective.

What will I learn? How will this help me be a better leader?</strong> <strong>What can I bring back to my organization immediately when I return?</strong></p> <p>Participants will learn about the convergence of emerging technologies and how they are changing business value chains and the global economy. Each emerging technology lecture is followed by a geopolitics lecture which contextualizes these technology transformations with the political realities interconnected across geographics. This insight will help leaders reevaluate how they are steering their company and how they can play to their strengths and manage their weaknesses amidst rapid technological change and geopolitical volatility – after all, there is always an opportunity for those who seek it! Upon returning from the workshop, leaders can start to engage with the rest of their leadership team on how they are conducting technology horizon scanning and looking for new opportunities to expand the organization’s value and protect its existing positioning. From a geopolitics perspective, participants will be able to return back to the office and inquire about supply chain risks, crisis management planning and strategies for managing potential adverse political outcomes. Our workshop will include a checklist of things to do when participants return!</p> <p class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2. I saw that this is more than a workshop on technology and geopolitics and that it also includes culinary and cultural experiences.</strong> <strong>Could you tell me more?</strong></p> <p>The workshop hosts Velina and Lydia believe there is a lot of value in ‘breaking bread’ and sharing culinary experiences with others and that it provides a space to continue to share the ideas of the workshop and expand on them in a different format where other senses are also inspired. The same goes for cultural experiences. Technology and geopolitics are very closely tied to the cultures they stem from. This workshop includes the following culinary experiences:</p> <ul> <li>Thursday, May 16th: Welcome dinner with a panorama view of Vienna</li> <li>Friday, May 17th: A wine and juice tasting dinner at a vineyard</li> <li>Saturday, May 18th: Typical Austrian lunch at a traditional restaurant</li> </ul> <p></p></div> <figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex"> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="737" data-id="5138" src="https://foraconsciousexperience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/546ec7_3757a655371f47c1ac9785a229b5f63dmv2-1024x737.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-5138" srcset="https://foraconsciousexperience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/546ec7_3757a655371f47c1ac9785a229b5f63dmv2-1024x737.webp 1024w, https://foraconsciousexperience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/546ec7_3757a655371f47c1ac9785a229b5f63dmv2-300x216.webp 300w, https://foraconsciousexperience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/546ec7_3757a655371f47c1ac9785a229b5f63dmv2-768x553.webp 768w, https://foraconsciousexperience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/546ec7_3757a655371f47c1ac9785a229b5f63dmv2-600x432.webp 600w, https://foraconsciousexperience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/546ec7_3757a655371f47c1ac9785a229b5f63dmv2.webp 1078w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="436" height="327" data-id="5136" src="https://foraconsciousexperience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/546ec7_d505112e437d48f7bb3330427e809f72mv2.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-5136" srcset="https://foraconsciousexperience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/546ec7_d505112e437d48f7bb3330427e809f72mv2.webp 436w, https://foraconsciousexperience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/546ec7_d505112e437d48f7bb3330427e809f72mv2-300x225.webp 300w" sizes="(max-width: 436px) 100vw, 436px" /></figure> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="740" data-id="5137" src="https://foraconsciousexperience.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/546ec7_7ad7e532adf64bb9ad931f8f42b69927mv2-1024x740.webp" alt= …
