Each faculty member of Singularity University has a different
background. Barry O'Reilly focuses on the impact of new
technologies, particularly in regards to the social impact they can
have and has his own business coaching business executives on how
to adopt tech in their companies, and leverage new tech to grow
both their business and their teams.
He says that initial discussions of new technologies are often met
with caution and skepticism, but that do the right way, technology
can help create data that can inform more efficient and beneficial
business decisions, and overall change the world for the
better.
Barry discusses the effects of social media on this space, examples
of how new technologies can augment or displace traditional
business structures, and the challenge and necessity of being able
to quickly re-train workers with the new skills and competencies
that the changing technological landscape requires.
He also discusses the changes that he already sees happening in the
fintech industry, thanks to the blockchain, and the relative
advantages of both start-ups and large established companies.
