Who we are

Mission

1064 Degrees has a mission to future-proof companies of all sizes and to supercharge their growth. We are in an age of exponential changes. The world is moving faster than ever. Companies can not approach this new world, with the same mindset and tools that they did in the past decade. If they do, they will be disrupted and soon become irrelevant.

1064 provides a variety of services to help companies plug into this new exponential world. 1064 equips you to be the disruptor and rather than disrupted.

Why the name ‘1064 Degrees’?

1064 Degrees is the melting point of gold. This is the heat that needs to be added to give it fluidity and to transform it into something so much more valuable.

Like gold, the average company has good intrinsic value but is not dynamic enough to reshape itself in line with changing times. To so they need 1064 Degrees.

Testimonials

The RIMC was unlike anything else I have attended. It was loaded with business hacks that has the potential to save an organisation or start-up a great deal of time and energy. It’s one of the very few times in my career that I was able to leave a workshop and make use of the solutions. immediately in my business. Dean’s offering is relevant, up- to- date and rewarding.

An extraordinary man

Cliff Central

Dean Furman is my innovation go-to guru. His straight-talking, creative engagement evidences why he is one of the leading innovation experts in South Africa. Dean worked with me to create excellent, relevant content. With Dean’s help, our teams now more easily identify the possibilities around them and turn their ideas into practical action. He freely shares some of his ‘growth hacks’ so potential disruptors can benefit from his insight long after he has left the conference room. He ‘gets’ the corporate machine, helping teams think differently about their clients’ needs and cut through red tape.

Most futurist presentations are so far into the future that they are excitingly non-relevant. Dean has a warm and exponential way of connecting you to the future by allowing you to leverage tangible free technology while you listen to him. He is engaging and his thinking is divergent. He demonstrates innovation and anyone attending his session will leave with a new mind set. If you are looking to improve your business exponentially and AI is not yet in your immediate grasp, 1064 degrees is
