A key obstacle for the Progress In our society, there is a reluctance to question established patterns of thought and paradigms. A case in point is the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The government enacted the law to guarantee the protection of personal data. However, it failed to provide practical solutions and implementation options for the public. "The government needs to rethink its approach. Instead of simply enacting laws, it must offer concrete solutions," says keynote speaker and futurologist Dr. Stephan Meyer. 

If societies and companies want to keep pace with the future, a paradigm shift in many areas is unavoidable. "In the change process, it is crucial to make progress tangible for people," says expert and speaker Dr. Stephan Meyer. In his inspiring Keynote "Psychology of Progress" He imparts knowledge and tools to develop an innovative, future-oriented and progressive mindset that will help you achieve your goals in the long term. 

Keynotes on the paradigm shift: Why progress often fails

Progress in business and society often fails due to entrenched paradigms whose usefulness and relevance are never questioned. "Many people tend to remain stuck in ingrained patterns of thought and action and find it difficult to break free from established practices. This leads to innovative thoughts and ideas not having enough space to develop," explains the keynote speaker and futurist. The reason for this: Companies and societies that want to maintain the status quo often shy away from... Thoughts a paradigm shift. The consequence: They will not be able to achieve their goals in the long term.

The fear of a Paradigm shift According to the progress expert, this is because people primarily associate change with two things:

• uncertainty
• additional work

“Often, people are focused on finishing work for the day and have no incentive to rethink their way of working. There is a lack of the necessary motivation, perspectives, and shared vision to strategically drive change,” he says. Future expert in his keynote address on Paradigm shiftAccording to futures research, hundreds of hours of overtime are not necessary to achieve progress.

In relation to the long-term additional profit, these two percent represent a highly profitable investment of time, don't you think? And also the fear of an uncertain future. Future According to the keynote speaker, this is unnecessary. "Progressive thinking and the associated paradigm shift are not rocket science," Meyer explains, adding: "With the right knowledge and the right tools, you can achieve any goal."

Besides courage and two percent of your time, futurist Meyer says three factors are crucial for successfully implementing a paradigm shift: Goals to reach:

• Psychological foundations: Many people are enthusiastic about the future, but often suppress these thoughts. In his keynote address on the paradigm shift, Meyer explains how innovators think and which characteristics are important.
• Know and utilize your strengths: Not everyone is an innovator, a strategist, or a creative mind. To make the most of the two percent, it is essential that the right people are in the right place.
• Use technologies: Thanks to state-of-the-art technologies, the fear of the future is a thing of the past. For example, "scenario technology" can be used to visualize and analyze possible future scenarios and developments.

Keynote Speaker on Digitalization: It's not just about digital topics

It's about much more than just digital transformation. Many futurologists agree on this. It's about making the company holistically fit for the future. The processes of change in business and society require an openness to megatrends and other future trends. This also includes topics such as corporate culture, leadership, and new work. Sometimes, you even have to adapt your business models. A holistic perspective is therefore essential. Meyer advised a client who wanted to be successful in the future to use scenario technology, among other things, to simulate political and economic scenarios and adapt the company strategy.
