“I just wanted to let you know how impressive and interesting your presentation was yesterday on Digital Day! Many thanks for the great speech; I believe you have given many a proprietor a reality check about having to digitalize oneself and one’s company as quickly as possible and to keep up with the times.”
“As I am sure you have already heard, the event on Tuesday was very successful. I was very pleased about the response. Mr. Land’s presentation was top and, despite the time extension (which is meant in a positive way in this case), everybody paid very close attention. Mr. Land “captivated” the participants with increasing “sets of slides”. It was terrific and I myself was fascinated.”
“Mr. Land really motivated me to tackle the really important things that you don’t see for yourself at first glance, thus removing the scale from my eyes.”
“Electrifying presentation, motivating, thrilling and really worth seeing!”
“The value added chain and the depth of it will change. Are we aware of what this simple sentence actually means, what dematerialization actually means? I have used the terms in my daily work. But I didn’t become aware of the serious effects until I watched an interview with Karl-Heinz Land. He explained it in such simple terms and clearly that I had to ask myself outright, how one earth couldn’t I see that?”

EARTH 5.0 – Provoking the Future
Things are not good around the planet earth. Harmful greenhouse gases, population growth and unchecked economic growth are overloading the ecological systems; mankind has long been overexploiting irretrievable resources. In principle, we need a second planet to ensure the survival of humanity. But the fifth industrial revolution offers a unique opportunity to provoke a new digital future and to dampen or even eliminate the pressing problems. In his new book ” Earth 5.0 – provoking the future “, announced for July 2018, Karl-Heinz Land unfolds a scenario that is as bold as it is fascinating, in which the world and humanity can be saved through digital transformation.
Digital Darwinism
“Adapting or dying” – companies risk their competitiveness, if they are unable to keep pace with technological and social developments. As co-author of the book “Digital Darwinism”, Karl-Heinz Land sensitizes entrepreneurs and managers to the relentless, evolutionary selection in the markets. In addition, he shows ways and concepts to always be one step ahead of the competition in times of digital changes.
Digital brand management
The concept of brand management has changed fundamentally as a result of digitization. In order to successfully manage brands, new, digital design fields must be used. In addition, the brand can now act much faster, more innovatively and more personally at multiple touchpoints. The book “Digital Brand Management” shows how a brand can win the hearts of customers, design new customer journeys in an engaging way and integrate customer feedback.
Dematerialization – the redistribution of the world
More and more physical goods are turning into software and apps. Today’s smartphones do as much as an entire trunk full of devices in the past. The effects are immense: With these products, factories, machines, skilled workers – even entire value chains – disappear into nowhere. In the book “The redistribution of the world” Karl-Heinz Land, as co-author, sheds light on the causes and consequences of dematerialization – not only for the economy, but also for society and each individual.
