The impact of digitization on business, people and society

Contact Jarno

 

My name is Jarno Duursma. Besides being a TEDx speaker, creator of the ‘Listening to the future’ podcast and founder of tech event SMC050, I also wrote four management books on digital technology. My two most recent reports are on Machines with Imagination and Deepfake Technology.

Besides books and reports I wrote articles for Emerce, Bright and Frankwatching. But you might also know me from national media or my opinion articles for the FD, NRC and De Volkskrant.

I like to reflect on the current and future impact of digital technology with optimism and a suitably critical eye. And with an eye for the human interest.
