Dancing With Robots
The 29 Strategies For Success in The Age of Hyper-Intelligence
Artificial intelligence. Machine learning. Algorithms. Blockchains. The Internet of Things. Big data analytics. 5G networks. Self-driving cars. Robotics. 3D printing. In the coming years, these technologies, and others to follow, will have a profound impact on how we work and how we live. Whether we like it or not, we need to learn develop a good working relationship with these technologies. We need to learn how to “dance” with robots.
To thrive in this technology-driven marketplace, business owners, entrepreneurs, and C- suite executives (and everyone else) need to understand the new rules for the new economy. These rules are fundamentally different from the rules that applied in the old industrial economy.
As the CEO of The BIG Idea Company, and the founder of The New Economy Network, I’ve learned how woefully ignorant most people are about how technology is changing the foundations of the economy and the dynamics of the marketplace. During mastermind roundtable discussions, the most common things I hear are: “Wow. We had no idea that artificial intelligence was advancing so quickly.” “I don’t really understand blockchains.” “We need to get ready for 3D printing and self-driving cars.” “We need to develop a strategy to avoid being disrupted.” “We need to come up with a way to disrupt our marketplace, but we don’t know what to do.”
Coming away from these discussion, and also based on feedback from my speeches, I concluded that people benefit greatly when I provide them with a roadmap to navigate this new environment. That’s why I am giving this keynote: Dancing With Robots: The 28 Strategies For Success In The New Economy.
Dancing With Robots is based on my work with clients at The BIG Idea Company. During the past twenty years, more than 5,000 companies and organizations have completed my BIG Idea Adventure Program. This experience has given us tremendous insight into what works and doesn’t work in the new economy.
Dancing With Robots Testimonials
Leaders walk the line of dealing with the unknown, building confidence to act in those around them, and operating from principles instead of scripts. Bishop is such a leader. In Dancing with Robots, readers will go to the precipice of the immediate future in four intersecting domains: humanity, technology, thinking, and business. 29 strategies take the edge off of how to embrace artificial intelligence and technology - yes, to dance with it! Readers from the humanities, business, entrepreneurs, healthcare, and futurists will appreciate the nuanced stories and sharp focus that supports each strategy. In the end, the whole is greater than the sum of each part. Highly recommend.

I firmly believe Bill Bishop belongs in the same conversations as those involving Seth Godin, Gary V, and others like them (he's a lot more accessible too). He has the unique ability to take several marketing and sales ideas-techniques and marry them with technology and after 20 minutes be able to distill everything in an easy to understand plan. I've never worked with anyone like Bill and recommend anything he writes...and ultimately teaches.

I’ve devoured just about everything Bill Bishop has written. He has the unique ability of distilling complex ideas into simple, doable and commercial outcomes. Three such ideas I took, and actioned, from his last book were simply to identify a big goal; a big problem; and a signature program to satiate them.

Bill Bishop helped Turkstra Lumber develop our Big Idea, the Build-It-Better program. This program has been a big hit with our DIY customers and has moved us away from Old Factory Thinking and into the New Economy. The New Economy Thinker was a must-read for our entire Team. Dancing with Robots is a fascinating book that builds on Bill’s concepts outlined in The New Economy Thinker. The topic is timely and thought provoking as we move into an uncharted but exciting time to be business leaders. We’re all looking forward to moving out of the “factories” and joining the “network”.
