From the internet to the advent of the smartphone, the last three decades have seen people change the way they work and live to adapt to each new technology capability coming to market. Today, changes are coming faster than ever. But increasingly, it's no longer people who are adapting to technology – the technology is adapting to us. It's not the technology itself that's driving change – it's us. We're putting technology to work to disrupt ourselves. The digital revolution we're part of today is an age of human empowerment. It's about us designing technology that conforms itself to people, putting us firmly in control of our own fate. Paul Daugherty, Accenture's Chief Technology & Innovation Officer, will provide insights on this topic from the recently-released Accenture Technology Vision for 2017, followed by a discussion with MIT Technology Review Chief Operating Officer, Elizabeth Bramson-Boudreau.
