REIMAGINING & RETHINKING Innovative Sustainable Development
Towards a Diverse Future Living.
22 OCTOBER 2021: Port Louis, Mauritius

It has become abundantly clear just about everywhere that we are going to have to get used to waves of disruption and, as a result, a constant epic battle. Healthcare and lives, the economy and livelihoods, and also civil liberties have really been challenged during this period. This is the shot across the Humanity’s bows.

Leaders must reimagine and rethink to seize this Black Swan opportunity to reflect “How best can I reset, reboot and restart my organization?” Think very differently. Look for new opportunities, new markets. It is the D-VUCAD moment!

Industry 5.0 is here and now. Traditionally, organizations which have great leaders are more able to anticipate emerging challenges, more inspiring in leading the organizational changes and more successful in translating strategies into realities. We are living in exponential times where intensifying changes occur at an exponential speed:

a. The estimated 4 exabytes of unique information to be generated now exceed the previous 5,000 years

b. Fortune survey found that just 10% of well-planned talent management programmes will prepare the upskilling of the desired Future 5.0 Leaders.

While jobs are destroyed, there are instances of larger job creation. The answer needs to be the triumph of hope over fear. How we respond now – the Line in the Sand – will baseline our future growth and successes.

Industry 5.0 ecosystem, in the context of Africa5.0, Asia5.0 & World5.0, must respond to the megatrends of futuristic digital transformation which are causing profound shifts across all industries. Accelerated effort is required, since most companies are estimated to be at Industry 2.5/3.5, to focus on bridging the gap, leveraging on the unknown and yet constantly emerging and meaningful exponential human technologies.

Industrial companies are transforming into fully digital enterprises, utilising big data, reducing costs on product development and placing massive emphasis on customer integration into industrial digital ecosystems (Digital FTZ).

Customers want a unique experience, forcing businesses to understand their individual pains and tailor products/services specific to what they need, providing Total Experience with hyper personalization.

Successful businesses anticipate change, develop bespoke digital products in the Digital Factory with agility and maximise their business growth.
