The idea of progress drives us all! But how do I, my team, my employees, or even the entire company achieve our goals? We pursue goals daily and believe that achieving them is the main driver of progress. Yet there are people who reject progress and goal achievement, whose highest priority is simply finishing work. How do we encourage people to think innovatively, with enthusiasm for the future, and in a progressive way? What are the foundations of human thinking that drive progress?

Most people throw their hands up in despair: "Progress and the paradigm shift often required only means additional hours of work!" In his captivating keynote address, management consultant, change expert, and psychologist Dr. Stephan Meyer dispels this fear in his audience, because progressive thinking and the associated paradigm shift are not rocket science.

In his keynote address, packed with practical examples, Dr. Meyer presents the fundamentals of the psychology of progress and encourages his audience to embrace the necessary paradigm shift. Understanding the psychological foundations of progress and the resulting future-oriented thinking requires companies to invest a mere 2% of their time! Relative to the additional profits, this is a highly profitable investment.

To make the most of the 2% of working time dedicated to progress, it's essential to rely on the skills of the people around you. Not everyone is an innovator, not everyone a brilliant strategist, and not everyone highly creative: yet therein lies the strength of every company. Dr. Meyer uses psychological examples to demonstrate how easy it is to leverage the strengths of all employees. The result is exponential growth in progress!

Dr. Stephan Meyer is a futurist who inspires his audiences with innovations, paradigm shifts, change, and progress. In his work as a management consultant, he frequently utilizes new technologies and artificial intelligence. Using scenario planning, he develops economic and political scenarios of the future. Companies can use this technique to analyze and coherently present possible scenarios for their future and progress. For Dr. Meyer, blockchain is currently a particularly important driver of progress. Especially in financial and utility markets, blockchain offers the opportunity to scale and make future developments more tangible.

In his keynote address, "The Psychology of Progress," he shows clients tools for continuous progress—today, tomorrow, and beyond. As a psychologist and management consultant, Dr. Stephan Meyer has learned one thing: progress must be tangible for people. For this reason, he engages daily with the technologies of the future. He has also observed that many people think progressively, but often suppress these thoughts. With this keynote, psychologist Dr. Stephan Meyer will awaken the spirit of innovators and future-oriented thinkers within you!
