--- title: 2nd Renaissance Webinar with Futurist Anders Sörman-Nilsson description: 2nd Renaissance Webinar, Wednesday, April 30 2020, 4.00 PM Sydney. After disruptive pandemics like the black plague, human ingenuity has flourished. Structural and existential shocks can bring about values and behavioural shifts that usher in transformative new worlds. I believe we are at the beginning of such a re-set.

If digital disruption was the dress rehearsal for your business model’s transformation, COVID19 became the burning platform. By now, we know that this virus has wreaked havoc on lives and livelihoods. None of us has been immune to either type of future shock. But what does the world beyond the pandemic look like? And how do we prepare ourselves for it? If we future gaze for a moment we might ask ourselves **what the world looks like on summer/winter solstice June 21/22, 2021 (incidentally, my son - Lucien's 4th birthday)?** And what are the major events that got us there? ![Renaissance Webinar with Futurist Anders Sörman-Nilsson](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/hs-fs/hubfs/tumblr_mnzu8bWyf01s5jjtzo1_400-1.png?width=1200&name=tumblr_mnzu8bWyf01s5jjtzo1_400-1.png) Will we be going back to the status quo after lockdowns ease, or will we be forever transformed? What will we value, and **how will we be spending our disposable income**? What technologies are here to stay? Will we be migrating back into cities for work, or stay at home? **Will the physical and virtual continue to blend**? Will frugality be the new norm? **What consumer behaviour will shape the commerce of tomorrow?** Beyond COVID19, will we continue to be germophobes, or will the ‘2 Second Rule’ ever make a comeback? **Did Corona deliver a deadly blow to the ‘Sharing Economy’**? Have we finally understood **exponentiality and science**, and how to respond to it? Will we be ok with living in **surveillance states**, and will **sustainability become the central tenet** of the near horizon future? Importantly, what can we learn from disruptive events in history and are we now potentially **at the dawn of the 2nd Renaissance of human creativity and flourishing**?     Questions abound. And while answers about the future are not definitive, **imagining emerging future worlds** can help us prepare for tomorrow, and enable us to *accelerate out of the curve *today. **While history doesn’t necessarily repeat itself, occasionally it rhymes.** After disruptive pandemics like the black plague, human ingenuity has flourished. Structural and existential shocks can bring about values and behavioural shifts that usher in transformative new worlds. I believe we are at the beginning of such a re-set. **Let us decode tomorrow in the 2nd Renaissance Webinar. **   #### 2nd Renaissance Webinar April 30, 2020, at 4 PM AEDT In this live webinar, we will unpack: - Societal Values Shifts and the ‘New Normal’   - Consumer Behaviour Shifts that will ensure your relevance/irrelevance - 10 Megatrends Unleashed by the Coronavirus - Cognitive Skills to specialise in for the 2nd Renaissance - Themes to invest in and old ideas to discard - How to prosper as a 2nd Renaissance Man/Woman [![2nd Renaissance with Futurist Anders Sörman-Nilsson](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/109349/919a71f4-3dd5-49a1-9344-c372ad5cc382.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/109349/919a71f4-3dd5-49a1-9344-c372ad5cc382) Topics: [Future Thinking](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/future-thinking), [Webinar](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/webinar), [COVID-19](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/covid-19), [2nd Renaissance](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/2nd-renaissance) ![Anders](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/d614bfaf05c76fba53508b0a7f68214b) ### Written by [Anders](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/author/anders) ** ### Sign up for the Decoding Tomorrow newsletter ### CATEGORIES - [Anders Sorman-Nilsson](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/anders-sorman-nilsson) - [Futurist Speaker Sydney](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/futurist-speaker-sydney) - [Thinque](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/thinque) - [Disruptive Trends](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/disruptive-trends) - [Future Thinking](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/future-thinking) - [Thought Leaders](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/thought-leaders) - [Artificial Intelligence](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/artificial-intelligence) - [Futurist](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/futurist) - [Future Trends](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/future-trends) - [2nd Renaissance](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/2nd-renaissance) - [AI](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/ai) - [Sustainability](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/sustainability) - [2020 Vision](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/2020-vision) - [Disruption](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/disruption) - [AI Keynote Speaker](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/ai-keynote-speaker) ### INDUSTRY - [Anders Sorman-Nilsson](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/2nd-renaissance-webinar-with-futurist-anders-s%C3%B6rman-nilsson#) - [Futurist Speaker Sydney](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/2nd-renaissance-webinar-with-futurist-anders-s%C3%B6rman-nilsson#) - [Thinque](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/2nd-renaissance-webinar-with-futurist-anders-s%C3%B6rman-nilsson#) - [Disruptive Trends](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/2nd-renaissance-webinar-with-futurist-anders-s%C3%B6rman-nilsson#) - [Thought Leaders](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/2nd-renaissance-webinar-with-futurist-anders-s%C3%B6rman-nilsson#) ### RECENT FORESIGHTS [** ](https://www.facebook.com/thinquetank/) [** ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anderssormannilsson/) [** ](https://www.youtube.com/user/andersofthinque) [** ](https://twitter.com/asormannilsson) [** ](https://www.instagram.com/andersbygeorgsorman/) ### ANDERS SÖRMAN-NILSSON #### FUTURIST.
