Whether or not you believe the world is doomed might depend on where you get your news, says economist and journalist, Angus Hervey. In this presentation, he delivers data-driven stories of progress from around the world that most mainstream media organizations miss – from rising living standards, public health and human rights, to progress in clean energy, scientific breakthroughs and conservation victories — and shows why these stories are so often ignored as part of the current global conversation. Audiences will come away with a more balanced understanding of how, despite numerous challenges, including climate change and geopolitical conflict, the world is changing for the better, and why it’s crucial for today’s business leaders to pay more attention to such occurrences. “If we want more people to devote themselves to the task of making progress, then maybe we should be telling more people that it’s possible to make progress.”

The future belongs to the Full Stack Human, a term inspired by computer programmers who are the Swiss army knives of the development world. Fluent in both culture and code, they’re able to work across the entire development process. From the front to the back end, they can seamlessly transition from one environment to the next. They’re driven by a boundless sense of curiosity— it’s not enough to know that something works, they need to understand the how and why behind each functionality. In this presentation, Dr Angus Hervey explores how the same, Full Stack concept applies to our lives. Audiences will learn why using a full stack of systems – carefully curating your information diet, applying new approaches to problem-solving techniques, and harnessing the power of storytelling – can be a crucial driver of success in today’s world.
