The Metaverse
What Does It Mean for Me and My Organization?

How Extended Reality, AI, and Blockchain Are Creating A New Paradigm for Business and Society

New, game-changing technologies used to come along about once a decade. Now they come in bunches! Currently, Extended Reality (XR: integrating Virtual Reality, VR, and Augmented Reality, AR), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Blockchain-enabled artifacts such as NFT’s and Distributed Autonomous Organizations (DAO’s), each are already having profound impacts. Combined, their synergies are creating the exponential change agent many refer to as the Metaverse.

A generation ago few could see the potential long-term effects of the Internet. But leading edge technology futurists like Jack Shaw were remarkably prescient in describing how the Internet would change business, commerce, and society.

Similarly, today, no one can say exactly how the Metaverse will manifest. Technology firms such as Google, Microsoft, and Amazon are already planning to deliver Metaverse capabilities; and Facebook’s recent name change to Meta has received huge publicity. But leading companies who are not primarily technology solutions providers, such as Walmart, are also working on plans to do business in the Metaverse.

As with the Internet and eCommerce, it will likely take 10 – 15 years for the Metaverse vision to be fully fleshed out. But it will almost certainly have as much effect on retailing, manufacturing, distribution, healthcare, and society in general as the Internet has. And we learned during the emergence of the Internet that those who proactively plan for the impact of emerging technologies inevitably gain tremendous strategic and competitive advantages over those who sit back to “wait and see”.

In this presentation, Jack Shaw will explain how Extended Reality, Blockchain, and AI will combine to enable the Metaverse. And he’ll show how people and organizations can visualize, plan for, and execute their Metaverse strategies.

Blockchain, Bitcoin, Cryptocurrency, and Decentralized Finance (DeFi)

How Emerging Technologies Will Change the Landscape for Payments and Financial Services

New, game-changing technologies used to come along about once a decade. Now they come in bunches! Currently, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Blockchain, and Cryptocurrencies are each driving accelerated rates of change for payments processors and Financial Services organizations. Combined, their synergies are creating exponential change. The results include real-time payments, anticipatory fraud prevention, and enhanced credit and collections.

Blockchain technology has enabled digital currencies, such as Bitcoin, for over a decade now; but with nations now starting to officially adopt CBDC's (Central Bank Digital Currencies ‒ digital versions of their traditional fiat currencies), digital, real time payments (RTP) are rapidly moving into the mainstream. And it’s not just payments. Blockchain-powered DeFi (Decentralized Finance) promises to disrupt everything financial from borrowing and lending to securities trading to fraud prevention.

Biometrics and Blockchain are already being used to create unhackable, immutable self-sovereign, or personally managed, records of identity. This allows data to be uniquely linked to a single individual. Rapidly evolving AI technologies can now identify the precursors of fraud enabling automated systems to proactively prevent it rather than simply identify it after the fact.

In this presentation, Jack Shaw will show how your organization can visualize and plan for the impacts of these changes and deliver economic benefits to customers and other stakeholders.
