How High-Speed Wireless Communications Linking the Physical World Will Drive Disruptive Change and Spark Innovation Across Businesses, Industries, and Society

5G. The Internet of Things. Everyone's heard of them. But what makes them different from what we already have? Sure, it’d be nice to download videos faster, but do my forks and spoons need to talk to each other? What can these new technologies really do for my business?

Turns out, quite a bit! Imagine smart energy applications that can cut power instantly on detection of a local disruption – virtually eliminating blackouts. What about robotic surgery? Not from the next room over, but from the other side of the globe – by the world's best. Or autonomous vehicles that don't merely navigate on their own, but continuously communicate with other vehicles and even the roadway infrastructure itself to minimize travel times and increase safety.

And, combining 5G & IoT with other emerging technologies such as AI and blockchain leads to even more astounding capabilities. For example, picture a manufacturing plant that reroutes material flows on the factory floor and reprograms production machines in real-time in response to changes in demand for various products at retail – several tiers down the supply chain!

5G and IoT will deeply disrupt your business and your industry. But it will also enable powerful innovation. Jack shows you how to design your 5G/IoT strategy for a sustainable competitive advantage.

Many executives think Digital Transformation means using digital technologies to reduce time, errors, and costs in their business processes. And these are certainly worthwhile objectives. But they are not Digital Transformation.

As Jack Shaw demonstrates, Digital Transformation means reevaluating the role your organization plays in the business and social ecosystems of which you are a part. It means rethinking your business model, and then redesigning your business processes using leading-edge digital technologies as needed now and in the future.

In this presentation, Shaw will share examples of organizations that have done exactly that. And he’ll share a time-tested approach for creating and executing a successful Digital Transformation strategy.

Major, game-changing technologies used to come along about once a decade, and one at a time. Now they come every year or two, and they come in bunches! Currently, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Blockchain, 5G Wireless, Internet of Things (IoT), Augmented / Virtual Reality, and 3D Printing are each driving accelerated rates of changes. Combined, their synergies are making change go exponential.

The only way for organizations to survive these exponential changes is through radical innovation. And fortunately, the same technologies that are driving these changes are enabling innovation.

In this presentation, Jack Shaw will describe how organizations can most effectively visualize, plan and execute on the radical innovations needed to change from responding to change to initiating it, and turn a future of threats into a future of opportunities!

There an old military aphorism, “The first casualty of war is the plan.” By definition, living in disruptive times seems to defy an organization’s ability to manage change.

Emerging technologies like AI and Blockchain can quickly redefine long-established industries. A few tweets from powerful politicians can stand markets and supply chains on their heads in a matter of days. What else is there to do but wait – and react as well as possible? Quite a bit it turns out!

In this presentation, Jack Shaw lays out a proven methodology for managing change in disruptive times. One that allows current operations to continue smoothly, lets organizations respond to short-term disruptions, and keeps the long-term strategic objectives on track. Come learn how to effectively manage change in your organization – despite the disruptions!

Leading Your Organization through Transformational Change

Motivating people and achieving established goals are worthwhile. But these are management, not leadership.

A transformational leader must drive radically innovative changes in their organization’s mindset, processes, and business model. And they must actively participate in the leadership of equally transformative changes in the business and social ecosystems of which their organization is a part.

To do so they must clearly visualize their transformational outcomes, gain the commitment of their team, and lead the drive to achieve their objectives. In this presentation, Jack Shaw outlines the five characteristics of transformational leaders and lays out the key steps managers and executives must take to become one.

How Blockchain Technologies Are Redefining Business Models and Processes in Your Industry

It’s still a common misconception that Blockchain technology is all about crypto-currencies and multimillion-dollar Non-Fungible Token (NFT) artworks. And while these applications do garner the headlines, the real action is behind the scenes – where enterprises large and small are leveraging Blockchain technology to reimagine how they do business.

Just as the Internet forced enterprises to transform their systems and processes a quarter-century ago, now Blockchain is driving an analogous transformation. Only this time it will go even deeper and happen much faster.

In industries from manufacturing and distribution to retail and consumer goods, from healthcare and pharmaceuticals to transportation and logistics, and from government agencies to not-for-profits, leading edge organizations have already implemented production Blockchain-based systems that have allowed them to reimagine mission-critical business processes.

The Blockchain applications already being used include everything from supply chain transparency to sourcing and provenance of food and luxury items such as diamonds, artworks, and wines to insurance claims management and educational credentialing.

In this presentation, Jack Shaw will show how Blockchain is already being used in your industry. And he’ll show you how your organization can visualize and plan for the impacts Blockchain and the changes it’s helping to create will have on your business.
