  • Business as Unusual: How to Future-Proof Your Business in Transformational Times

    The pandemic has catapulted the world into a future of deep change. In this engaging, provocative, and insightful keynote session acclaimed global futurist and best-selling author Jack Uldrich will not only discuss how Coronavirus is transforming the world of tomorrow, he explains why it is accelerating many of the trends that were already at work prior to the epidemic.

    History reminds us that great crises produce great change – as well as great opportunities. To take advantage of these extraordinary opportunities, businesses must position themselves now to operate in a world where “business as unusual” is the new “usual.” This session will help leaders at every level of an organization leverage ten “unconventional” techniques to succeed in today’s–and tomorrow’s–transformational times.

  • The Great Reset: The Emerging Age of Re-imagination, Reconnection and Renewal ---and Generation RE

    A great reset is now upon us. Less obvious is the reality that the world was quietly being reset prior to the pandemic. The rules of business were being rewritten by an extraordinary cadre of individuals, enterprises, and organizations willing to rethink long-held assumptions, reinvent products and processes, and reestablish new and innovative ways to re-engage with both their employees and the wider world. These leaders are at the vanguard Generation RE--an ageless cohort of change agents working to recreate the world anew.

    In this refreshing, entertaining, and insightful keynote presentation, global futurist and best-selling author Jack Uldrich shares key insights from his forthcoming book, The Great Reset: The Emerging Age of Reimagination, Reconnection, and Renewal (Greenleaf Book Group, 2021). He also explains how leaders can embrace and leverage the principles of “Generation RE” in order to reframe problems into opportunities, restore communities and our natural world, reconnect with employees and customers at a deeper, more meaningful level, and reimagine a better, bolder and more beautiful future.
  • The Big AHA: How to Embrace Today’s Trends to Create Tomorrow’s Opportunities

    This fast-paced and motivating talk is perfectly aligned to address the volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity of changing and new opportunities. AHA is an acronym for Jack’s three-step approach: Awareness, Humility, and Action.

    Jack’s talk begins with the trends specific to your industry that business leaders must be aware of and then he shares how these trends will transform everything from how employees will do their work, to how the organization will provide their services to customers, clients and collaborators, to how new business will be secured. Each change will require humility. And then he shares specific strategies for enhancing humility as individuals and teams.

    Jack’s perspective is that “the best way to predict the future is to create it yourself.” As you can imagine, this level of creation requires action. And Jack concludes his presentation with concrete actions industry leaders can take today to create a successful tomorrow.
  • How to Think Like a Futurist

    The average lifespan of a Fortune 1000 company is 15 years–and dropping. Why is this happening? Primarily, it’s because companies are so focused on the present, they fail to appreciate how the world of tomorrow is changing. Smart companies hire futurists to survive. Wise companies learn how to think like a futurist and instill a “future mindset” throughout their organization.
    In this interactive, engaging and educational seminar, best-selling author and renowned global futurist Jack Uldrich will instruct you and your team on how to “think like a futurist” and “future-proof” your organization in the process.

    Specifically, audiences will:
    · Understand the trends transforming the world of tomorrow and learn how to become aware of what is coming next before your competitors;
    · Develop an appreciation for both why humility is critical in navigating the uncharted waters of tomorrow and why unlearning will be as important as learning in the future;
    · Learn how to take action in the face of uncertainty, ambiguity, and rapidly changing conditions;
    · Most importantly, you will adopt the mindset and acquire the tools to begin creating the future yourself.
  • The Future Requires Unlearning

    Today, we live in a world where “constant change is the only constant.” New advances in technology bring forth exciting discoveries every day. But often lost in this new reality is the fact that organizations must unlearn old, obsolete knowledge and old ways of doing business, before they can seize tomorrow’s opportunities.
    In this fascinating, informative and interactive presentation, Jack Uldrich — hailed by BusinessWeek as “America’s Chief Unlearning Officer”— explains why unlearning is a critical skill for your organization.

  • Question the Future!

    Today, the greatest change is the rate of change itself. Put another way, society is transitioning to a period of constant transition. The net effect is that “answers” about the future are decreasing in value. This reality is, paradoxically, placing greater emphasis on the need to ask better questions.

    In this thought-provoking but practical presentation, global futurist and best-selling author Jack Uldrich shares with his audience how the art and science of framing and asking better questions can not only help individuals and organizations survive tomorrow’s rapidly changing environment but thrive by providing the key insights necessary for confidently creating their own future.

Jack was great! People loved him and found it very interesting and informative. One quote from an evaluation: “He literally blew my mind."

I have been doing professional development for 25 years and Jack is absolutely one of the top speakers I have observed. He uses humor, facts and creativity to get his message across. This was two years ago and many of our people still reference his talk.

— Mike Smoczyk, Kraus Anderson

Judging from the number of people that lingered to ask a question and the general “post-meeting buzz”, it’s clear that your presentation had people thinking. In all honesty, this is one of the best programs that we’ve had in a long time and we’ve had plenty of excellent ones. Thank you for an entertaining and thought-provoking program.
