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. Read More >

In this speech, Jack Uldrich explains a common and popular vision of the Internet of Things (IoT). He loosely defines this as the connection of billions of physical objects to the Internet through the use of low-cost sensors. He presents audiences with an example of an alarm clock, which is smart enough to read your daily schedule, review the latest traffic and weather reports, and then communicate this information to your coffee maker in such a way that you’ll be able to maximize your sleep while still getting to work on time with a piping hot cup of java in your hands.

This vision of the future is entirely possible, but it sells short the true potential of the Internet of Thing. Here are nine additional and unexpected ways the IoT may modify the future: Read Less ^

• 85 Will Become the New 65 as Boomers Stave Off Aging.
• Seeing Water and Carbon Everywhere.
• Better Wine.

The pace of technological change is accelerating. Today’s organizations are living in a world where “constant change is the only constant.” New advances in biotechnology, nanotechnology, and information technology are bringing forth exciting and unexpected discoveries every day, while the expansive and growing power of the Internet, social networking, and the open source movement are fueling the fires which threaten to consume much of today’s existing business landscape.

Lifelong learning will obviously be more essential than ever in this chaotic and churning environment; but often lost in this new emerging reality of exponential change is the fact that before an organization can seize tomorrow’s opportunities, it must first unlearn old, obsolete knowledge as well as unlearn the old ways of doing business.

In this fascinating, informative, entertaining, interactive, and enlightening presentation (which is also available as a half or full day seminar), noted global futurist and best-selling author Jack Uldrich, who has been hailed by Businessweek as “America’s Chief Unlearning Officer,” not only explains why unlearning is a critical skill for your company and your organization’s employees but also demonstrates how unlearning can help you:

• Successfully navigate a future where the pace of scientific and technological knowledge is doubling every seven years;

• Prepare for competition that doesn’t yet exist;
• Seize opportunities that are only on the periphery of your imagination today.

These presentations draw heavily on Ulrich’s two books on unlearning: Unlearning 101: 50 Lessons for Thinking Inside­Out the Box and Higher Unlearning: 39 Post Requisite Lessons for Achieving a Successful Future. Read Less ^

The average lifespan of a Fortune 1000 company is 15 years–and dropping. Why is this happening?
