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.

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.

The Big AHA
How to Turn Your Business Towards Tomorrow’s Transformational Trends, Today

Now and into the future, the greatest change will be the accelerating rate of change itself. In this enlightening, entertaining and educational session, Jack Uldrich shares insights from his book, Business as Unusual and outlines the ten trends that will transform the world of tomorrow. Uldrich also identifies concrete actions businesses can take today to future-proof themselves against “the tides of tomorrow.”

The Great Reset
The Emerging Age of Reimagination, 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 disruptions of 2020. 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 of his forthcoming book, The Rise of Generation RE (Greenleaf Books 2022). 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.
