Thinking Differently About the Future Can Transform Organizations in the Present
Acclaimed Futurist Jack Uldrich to share his insights on future trends in a variety of industries this month, including manufacturing, utilities, construction, wealth management, insurance, banking, and information technology
MINNEAPOLIS, October 1, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Prolific speaker and author Jack Uldrich will be traveling from coast-to-coast to speak at ten events this month. A highly-regarded speaker on emerging trends and the opportunities and challenges they create, he will be addressing leaders in a variety of industries about how they can "future-proof" their organizations.
Uldrich says, "Thinking like futurists revolves around these basic tenets: understanding the trends transforming the world of tomorrow; taking action in the face of uncertainty; developing an appreciation for humility and embracing the concept that unlearning is as important as learning when it comes to future trends."
Powered by rapidly emerging and converging technologies, the world today is changing faster than ever. These changes are happening worldwide, and not one of the industries I address is immune to the shifts.

Some of the game-changing technologies and trends that Uldrich believes organizations should begin familiarizing themselves with today include advancements in blockchain technology, genomics, artificial intelligence, robotics, renewable energy, virtual and augmented reality, the sharing economy, nanotechnology, and autonomous vehicles.
Most importantly Uldrich wants his audience members to adopt open mindsets and to begin acquiring the tools to create the future themselves.
In his customized presentations, Uldrich reminds leaders that a big part of future-proofing is recognizing that "business-as-usual" may not be an acceptable strategy in the future. With this in mind, Uldrich encourages leaders to consider the following: "You can either be humble about the future or be humbled by the future."
According to Uldrich, "Powered by rapidly emerging and converging technologies, the world today is changing faster than ever. These changes are happening worldwide, and not one of the industries I address is immune to the shifts."
