How are you keeping up with **big data**? Is data becoming better at doing human stuff than humans are at doing human stuff? What is the impact of social media and the **digital economy** on how we need to position our brands in the future? In this [TEDx talk at Macquarie University](http://www.tedxmacquarieuniversity.com/speakers-2011/), **futurist **Anders Sorman-Nilsson delves into these questions, and offers an alternative world view on how we can better connect, communicate and touch the hearts and minds of our key stakeholders. Anders Sorman-Nilsson is Swedish-Australian, a reformed lawyer, and the founder and creative director of the Sydney and Stockholm based research company – **Thinque**. He is an active member of TEDGlobal (Oxford ’09 and Edinburgh ’11), is the curator of the **Social Media & Communications Summit**, and is on the advisory board of **Delta’s Ideas In Flight**. His unique global perspectives have been helping leaders, teams, and business owners in the USA, Europe, Asia and Australia make sense of and harness **disruptive trends in innovations, generations and communications**. His misfit insights have recently been manifested in his book **Thinque Funky: Upgrade Your Thinking **and amplified by endorsements via AFR Boss Magazine, Wired (UK), and Monocle. He has advised and spoken to senior leaders and teams across 4 continents, and executed successful organisational **change programs** across cultural and linguistic barriers. He works with organisations like Cisco, IBM, Lilly, Randstad, SAP and AXA.
