About Singularity
Singularity is executive education for leaders who need to see what is coming and act on it. Since 2008 we have helped individuals, organizations and governments change the way they lead, think and create the future.
The premise
The next 100 years will hold 20,000 years of technological change.
Ray Kurzweil did the math. That is the distance from the birth of agriculture to the birth of the internet, twice, inside a single century. Every strategy a leader holds today was built for a slower world.
Founded by futurists
In 2008, Peter Diamandis pitched Ray Kurzweil an idea over dinner: a new kind of university built for the pace of change ahead, one that would educate the leaders of tomorrow.
They could see that the education system of the time was setting leaders up to fail. The world needed people with a broad grasp of technology, a clear view of the challenges facing humanity, and a fearlessly entrepreneurial mindset.
Singularity University launched with support from NASA, Google and others. The mission has not changed since. The technology has only accelerated.
Our perspective
We examine every technology through three lenses at once, then pair that view with tools and frameworks leaders can use the week they get back.
01
What the technology changes about how you work, decide and lead.
02
Where it creates advantage, where it erodes a business model, and how fast.
03
The second-order effects that shape regulation, markets and public trust.
