Welcome to the future - Dr Patrick Dixon in Joburg

Based on hard hitting research and data, Dixon will present the Six Faces of the Future, highlited in his bestselling book Futurewise and intertwined with the most compelling and current research available to us today.

Dr Patrick Dixon's The Future of Management is being held in Bryanston, Johannesburg. As today's most sought after futures thinker, Dixon is a consultant to top organisations, institutions and governments around the world. In this first ever live event in South Africa, Dixon will present us with some hard hitting facts about our region, and Africa, that will cast new light on our strategic decisions. If the future is important to you, this really is an event that you need to be represented at.

Dixon's pre-event message to South Africa is hard-hitting in itself: "All eyes will be on rapid urbanisation of nations such as South Africa, and the influence these nations will have as they begin to act together. The contrast between the poorest in Africa and the wealthiest in America and Europe will continue to grow, despite public debate and many efforts. 450 million African children living on a dollar a day will become young adults in the next 15 years, and a small minority are likely to drive new protest movements, which could be powerful enough to make Al Qaeda look like an insect bite. Expect South Africa to be an engine of growth and entrepreneurship across the region."

This one-day event promises an agenda so compelling that it will make you do business diferently. Dixon will cover the Six Faces of the Future and Building a Better Business. His client list reads like an extract from Fortune 500 and testimonials speak for themselves. As Brad Martin, Chairman of Saks says: "I first heard Dr Patrick Dixon's outstanding presentation at a Futurists conference. Other speakers included the UK former Prime Minister John Major, the Editor of the Economist, Senatory Bill Bradley and others. I learned more about my business from Dr Dixon than from all the others put together."
