Why the Future Favors Learn-it-alls Over Know-it-alls

Expertise is overrated. Why? Because it has a way of blinding us to fresh perspectives. Today’s era of overspecialization breeds territoriality – which means the next world-changing idea might be stuck in the brainstorm instead of making it to the boardroom. Mike Bechtel, Chief Futurist at Deloitte Consulting is back at SXSW to share why the most promising (and profitable) futures are less about domain specialization and more about polymathy, conceptual cross-pollination, and industry convergence. Join him in this featured session as he brings to life what it means to build better spaces for innovation.
