Introduction to Emerging Technologies

New technology emerges at a pace that seems to be forever accelerating. It can be quite breathtaking. So much so that trying to keep up with the speed of innovation and invention sometimes feels like a hopeless task.

But what defines emerging technology? It’s the technology that combines radical novelty, fast growth, coherence, noticeable impact, and a degree of uncertainty and ambiguity. In other words, the technology that promises big impact but is not yet fully formed or understood.

This course will show you how to approach emerging technology to be able to make informed decisions about whether and how best to use it in your career.

You may be part of the management team of a large company or organization, wanting to understand the implications of technological innovation – and how to apply them in your role.

Perhaps you’re aiming for a promotion and see a clear grasp of emerging tech to help you succeed.

Or maybe you’re just curious about the future and how to make sense of the fast-changing technology landscape around you.

Whatever your motivation, how can you equip yourself with the knowledge to appreciate the opportunities and challenges that emerging technology presents? 

Good news: you’ve come to the right place!
