We live in a digitalized society.

So the question today is no longer whether digitization is the future or not. Rather, the questions are:

  • How can we help shape this digital future
  • How do we want to live and work?
  • How can we as a company and society use technology without leaving the people around us behind?

What mindset can we use to look positively into the future?

Climate collapse, Ukraine war, inflation, fear of China or ChatGPT ...
In keynotes and talks, Richard inspires people to think in terms of possibilities. Because he is convinced that we can overcome crises if we think in terms of solutions instead of focusing on problems. And, by bringing together two drivers of the future: Technology & Empathy!

The world is more than complex: Metaverse, genome editing and AI are the future - sorry, the present! ChatGPT has suddenly shown where we stand. Some are fascinated by it, others are in shock.

Technological innovations are often disruptive breakthroughs: they replace the status quo and force us to change our habits.  
Some are curious and open - others are overwhelmed, frustrated and afraid. Yet technology should be for us above all else!  
A tool to shape a future worth living.

"Digitalization - Deal with it!" - Richard Seidl

It's no longer a question of "digitalization yes or no"! The question is: How do we want to live? What will companies, schools and authorities look like in the future? How can the social and global challenges be mastered? But above all: With what mindset can we look positively into the future?

Richard Seidl explores these questions in his keynotes. As an entrepreneur, software expert and coach, he brings these worlds together on stage:

  • From practice: A mix of sound expertise and 20 years of practical experience instead of dry PowerPoint presentations
  • Entertaining: Complex technical topics are conveyed in an accessible and easy way
  • Inspiring: Solutions that anyone can easily implement and that motivate

Richard Seidl

Why is it important to me to talk about digitization?

In the 1980s, I got my first computer. Since then, I have been fascinated by the creative possibilities that this technology opened up: Suddenly I could implement and program my own ideas, create worlds using "multimedia", efficiently manage data in databases and later participate in global networking with modems and the Internet. The playing field for cognitive, intellectual and creative processes was suddenly immensely expanded.  
In my professional career over the last 20 years, I have experienced and seen a lot of what is possible with technology. But at its core, it remains a tool that should serve us as humans. It should support us in living our needs, growing, developing and mastering our challenges. Because it is precisely with this combination of technology and humanity that we can create a fantastic future.

Unfortunately, there is far too often a division into two camps today: "Humans are insignificant" say the technocrats. From the other side comes the cry: "Machines are our downfall".

My vision is to bring these views together in our companies and our society. As a consultant and coach, I can actively shape this in my work every day. As a speaker, I want to share this idea. To inspire people to use technology for themselves with curiosity and courage. And to grow with it and further develop their own humanity.
