Erica’s talk was a hit. It really had our attendees thinking about the many possibilities ahead, and the talk sent them off to their professional development sessions with “eyes wide open”. She had a great command of the content and the research-based information earned our audience’s respect and attention right from the start. It worked out splendidly!

Biography
For nearly two decades, Erica has been at the forefront of change. She speaks about the trends shaping the global landscape, and has keynoted over 250 conferences across the Americas, Europe and Asia. She has also worked with dozens of public and private entities to help inform long-term strategic thinking and innovation.
“My work as a futurist is guided by the sense that we have a completely new canvas on which to experiment and imagine. We are continually confronted with a new reality, a new challenge, a new solution, and a new future. Two visionary pioneers of the field, and founders of The Future Hunters, Edie Weiner and Arnold Brown helped guide me to spot patterns, see connective threads and think critically.
They taught me that the future is a Rorschach test. Our perception of it informs our reality.
Fast forward to now and that knowledge and awareness informs much of how I approach my work today.”

The Accelerator Effect
Templosion describes the fact that the biggest of things and the biggest of events are happening in shorter and shorter periods of time. Everything from corporate lifespans to financial planning cycles to the way in which we communicate is becoming more abbreviated. And technological innovation is happening at breakneck speed. Time is being truncated, and our experience of time is in overdrive.
Key Questions:
- How can businesses engage in truly long-term thinking?
- How can business reward structures be redesigned for long-term (vs. short-term) results?
- How can you speed up product innovations from concept to market in a fraction of the time?
Generational Trends
Generations have long been grouped in birth year cohorts of 15-20 years. But generations are now seemingly refreshing every 2-3 years. Technology is changing so rapidly that kids only a few years apart struggle to have the same cultural and technological frames of reference. Understanding what makes this generation tick is critical for talent management, marketing, education/learning, etc.
Key Questions:
- What do shifting values and attitudes mean for recruitment and retention?
- What are the intergenerational tension points internally?
- What will the future of education and learning look like?
Think Like a Futurist
Being future ready requires not just lifelong learning…but forgetting. How do we begin to forget the stuff we’re holding onto that doesn’t serve us for where the future is moving? This requires getting out the “mental cobwebs” and seeing through new eyes. It’s about leaving past assumptions behind and approaching the ways in which we see the world and our organizations in a new light.
