Why digital transformation has little to do with technology! | Tobias Burkhardt | TEDxIngolstadt

Exponential computing power and intelligent algorithms drive human productivity into another dimension and new technologies disrupt long established business models before lunch. How come only a small digital elite sees the potential while the majority of people is either afraid, ignorant or overconfident when it comes to our the digital future? The answer is deeply routed in our middle class intellectual way of thinking of how to educate our children and how to live a successful life. It is not the technology but our mindsets that threaten our future wellbeing.
Tobias has an extensive track record as marketer and entrepreneur in various industries ranging from beer, through mobile apps up to politics. Two years ago he decided to dedicate his career to helping companies find their way of coping with the impact that disruptive technologies will have on their businesses. As he loves to share his passion he started the SHIFTSCHOOL for digital transformation where he teaches future game changers the right skills and mindset for a digitized world.

Why digital transformation has little to do with technology! It's mainly because the majority of people is either afraid, ignorant or overconfident when it comes to unknown digital future. To change that, we need to change our mindset. To change mindset, we need new kind of education. The root cause is mindset and education. That's why digital transformation has little to do with technology.

I have no idea what he is talking about!

Slow to start, could have done without the German superiority comment, and a better choice of some of verbs used would've been better. Not an established, confident public speaker by any means. Still, he's saying the same things a lot established change makers (who sometimes get ignored by some others because of the distance between their socioeconomic classes) and "out of the mouths of babes comes wisdom" as the saying goes.
