He is a passionate champion of the idea that the fundamental birthright of being human is to THRIVE – whatever we are, whatever our background, whatever our circumstances, whatever our ambitions. Peter and his husband have formed a charitable Foundation that has already enrolled numerous world experts and cutting-edge organisations, all researching together how to apply cutting-edge Hi-Tech to THRIVE with Extreme Disability and, in the process, change what it means to be human. He is the subject of a primetime Channel-4 documentary chronicling his journey to becoming the world’s first full Cyborg, as well as a book and associated podcasts. Early in his career, Peter translated his expertise in complex-system dynamics into pioneering techniques to decode the hidden inner-workings of society so as to predict and selectively rewrite strands of the future. He is the foremost authority on the Unwritten Rules that organizations, social groups, cultures, and global systems follow that dictate how they will evolve. He has been granted unparalleled confidential access across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America to analyse the secret reality of institutions, government organizations, and corporations, including many of the major players in banking, healthcare, transport, energy, chemicals, IT, telecoms, retail, manufacturing, entertainment, and media. He has uncovered innumerable serious systemic threats, as well as advised leaders around the world how best to respond to them. Having spent roughly equal periods of his career living in the USA and UK, he currently lives in Torquay, England, with his husband Francis. They have been a couple since 1979. On 21st December 2005, they were granted the first ceremony on the first day Civil Partnerships became legal. In 2009, this was retrospectively recognized as having been a full Marriage. In 2017, Peter was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND, also called ALS or Lou Gehrig’s) and given two years to live. Far from this being a setback, he views it as an unrepeatable opportunity to conduct breakthrough research. Based on his unique insight into how Hi-Tech will evolve, and having now analysed the Unwritten Rules of clinical care for MND, he plans not just to survive – but THRIVE. For decades. He is adamant that the lessons learned must help everybody with Extreme Disability, even when caused simply by ‘old age’. To him, this research is, quite literally, the experiment of his life.

LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS IT'S CIRCULAR ECONOMY & MAKING SUSTAINABILITY TANGIBLE * Claudia Contreras, Executive Director, Sustainability Services, International IDG Services, SSG, Lenovo * Dale Aultman, VP & GM, ISG Services, Lenovo As IT resources become harder to find and the environmental damage worsens as a result of industrial practices, it’s more critical than ever that companies around the world embrace a circular economy (where they can leverage existing resources and put them back into the supply chain instead of using them once and throwing them away). Over the last few years, thanks to new technological solutions and resources, opportunities that enable a circular economy have surfaced in ways like never before. Companies are reevaluating product design, materials and even their overall supply chain in order to decrease the negative impacts they may have had on the environment. At Lenovo, we believe that smarter technology can solve problems, create opportunities and transform the way we all live, learn, work and heal. Lenovo’s commitment to providing Smarter Technology for All extends to our transition from a linear to circular economy through Smarter Circular Design, Smarter Circular Use, and Smarter Circular Return. This latter philosophy will be the focus of this session. In it, Claudia Contreras who heads IDG’s Sustainability Services will lead a discussion with procurement and IT sustainability leaders from Siemens on how they have incorporated a Smarter Circular Return process to capture resources and value across the PC lifecycle. MANAGING CHANGE AND TRANSFORMING IT THROUGH DAAS * Rob Makin, Executive Director, Worldwide Device as a Service (DaaS), SSG Lenovo * Linn Huang, Research VP, Devices & Displays, Lenovo Organizations have been navigating the uncertain waters of the pandemic for nearly two years now and with that has come great change. The sudden pivot to remote work illuminated gaps in many companies’ outdated IT infrastructures that were not capable of driving productivity, efficiency, security, or a positive user experience in the new reality. In response, many accelerated their digital transformations by adopting new technology solutions through the Device-as-a-service (DaaS) IT model. However, in recent months, as companies have been weighing the decision on whether, when and how to return to the office, their IT departments have had to transition out of the reaction phase and proactively plan for the future. As a result, the perception of the DaaS IT model has expanded beyond a means for hardware procurement. Instead it is increasingly viewed as a vehicle for organizational change, capable of helping companies achieve their desired business outcomes. In this session, Rob Makin, Lenovo’s Executive Director of Worldwide DaaS, is joined by IDC’s Linn Huang to discuss the challenges that companies are facing in the wake of the great migration to remote and hybrid work. Join them as they explore findings from a recent IDC study on how IT departments plan to manage work from anywhere by leveraging outsourced services. They will also address some of the biggest inhibitors to transitioning to a DaaS model and reveal the outcomes businesses are having as they make the switch. A NEW DISRUPTIVE APPROACH TO TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS * John Gordon, President, Industry Solutions, SSG, Lenovo * Charles Ferland, VP & GM, Edge Computing & Communication Service Providers (Telco), Lenovo More than ever, enterprises need a simpler way to buy, deploy and manage solutions to keep up with the speed of transformation and innovation required to drive their business forward and remain competitive. Join this thought leadership session where John Gordon, President Industry Solution at Lenovo, will share his perspective, based on customer engagements around the world, on how you can take a much more flexible, reliable and economical approach to consume technology solutions, and the new kind of solution partners you should consider to help address your industry-specific and horizontal needs. FROM INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY TO INTELLIGENT TRANSFORMATION * Arthur Hu, SVP & CIO, Lenovo * Dr. Jens Amail, Global Executive Vice President, COO and Head of Cloud, SAP Greater China In this session, you’ll learn about the “New IT,” the Intelligent Transformation that is reshaping both the business and technology sides of the world’s leading companies. At Lenovo, Mr. Hu has led a dramatic shift in how the IT organization operates: from back-of-the-office business enabler to front-and-center profit generator. In this session, he’ll talk about the drivers behind this shift, the mindset change that is critical to success, and the modern infrastructure that is required to enable it. Dr. Amail will share his perspective on transforming today’s ‘digital’ enterprises into tomorrow’s ‘intelligent’ enterprises. He’ll discuss how technologies like Cloud, Machine Learning, Internet of Things are driving Intelligent Transformation, and what he sees ahead for the collaboration between IT and the business. Come to this session to find out about the future of IT—from the leaders who are creating it. ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE CLIMATE CHANGE: THE PATH TO NET ZERO * Rob Taylor, Director of Environmental, Sustainability and Compliance, Lenovo * Sona Stenclova, Advisory Engineer, Global Environmental Affairs, Lenovo Many companies made net-zero commitments this year. But what’s the difference between a net-zero commitment, becoming carbon neutral, and the general effort to reduce carbon emissions? Watch this session to learn about the path to net zero from Lenovo’s subject matter experts, and understand how Lenovo is exploring its own path to net zero that’s based in climate science. INCLUSIVE TECHNOLOGY * Bridgett Rogers, Director, Development, AIC and Cloud Software, Lenovo * Thorsten Stremlau, Director, WW Strategic Enterprise Consulting, Lenovo Lenovo has a vision of providing smarter technology for all, but how do Lenovo innovators make sure that the technology truly meet the needs of users from different backgrounds and abilities?
