Shelby, NC (PRWEB) March 17, 2015
Highly acclaimed education futurist, technology forecaster, and best-selling author, Jack Uldrich has been selected to deliver two keynote speeches at Cleveland Community College in Shelby, NC, on March 19th and 20th.
The materials presented in this lecture series are based on a combination of Uldrich's best-selling book, "Higher Unlearning: 39 Post Requisite Lessons for Achieving a Successful Future," and his latest book, "Foresight 2020: A Futurist Explores the Trends Transforming Tomorrow." The lectures are designed to provide education students, teachers and North Carolina based innovators with solid and thought-provoking ideas and practical strategies for life inside and outside of the academy. A sample of some of Uldrich's ideas on the future of education can be found in this chapter, The Future of Higher Education: A Cloudy Forecast, from Foresight 2020.
Beyond addressing a number of educational trends, including open-source educational platforms (such as Coursera, EdX and Udacity), mobile web communications, interactive and customizable e-books, gaming dynamics, augmented-reality, artificial intelligence, and crowdsourcing; Uldrich also will tackle how these trends are transforming the student and teacher relationship and review what educational leaders must do today in order to get ahead of tomorrow's coming changes.
In his second lecture, "The Future Demands Unlearning," Uldrich will discuss why these future trends will require unlearning and provide an overview of how these technological changes are upending long-standing educational and funding mechanisms. Uldrich, who has been hailed as "America's Chief Unlearning Officer," will conclude the seminar by reviewing the consequences of not embracing the concept of unlearning. An overview of his talk can be found in this article: 5 Trends of Higher Education.
Uldrich has addressed dozens of educational groups and associations, including delivering customized keynote presentations to EAIE, in Istanbul, Indiana University, The Council of Great Lakes Schools, The University of Minnesota's Carlson School of Business, Educational Services of America, Belmont University, The Chief Learning Officers Summit, The Minneapolis Public School System, The Teaching and Technology Conference, The League of Innovation, The California League of Middle Schools, and The American Technical Education Association. Uldrich has also addressed a number of major, non education-related corporations and institutions on the topics of future trends, change management and unlearning, including Wells Fargo, Verizon Wireless, ABB, Cisco, IBM, PepsiCo, United Healthcare, WiPro, and General Electric.
Parties interested in learning more about him, his books, his daily blog or his speaking availability are encouraged to visit his website. Media wishing to know more about either the event or interviewing Jack as a futurist or trend expert can contact Amy Tomczyk at (651) 343.0660.

The concept of evolution is often described as a collection of chaos, infinite random events, varied choices and catalytic couplings.
In her 1998 book, Conscious Evolution, futurist Barbara Marx Hubbard posed an intriguing question: What if, after nearly 14 billion years of unconscious evolution, evolution now becomes self-aware?
Conscious evolution involves intentionally making choices rather than leaving things to chance, says Hubbard. Self-awareness would present infinite possibilities, allowing humanity to harness evolution and direct its future expressions.
Such ideas made Conscious Evolution a groundbreaking futurist manual. Hubbard became one of the worlds leading experts on evolutionary thought and action. Her belief is people can initiate positive, global change by working collectively and selflessly for the greater good.
Recently, Hubbard released a revised and updated edition, Conscious Evolution: Awakening the Power of Our Social Potential.
In it, she explores how the planet can transition from its destructive, polluting, overpopulating phase to a system that fulfills its collective potential. She outlines her vision for The New Story of Creation, emphasizing opportunities presented by crisis and change. The remainder of the book is organized in three parts: A New Worldview, The Social Potential Movement and The Great Awakening.
For billions of years, nature has been evolving through five mass extinctions, but no species was ever aware of it, she explains. Now, we are aware that we are facing the sixth mass extinction and that humanity has some role to play in this crisis. We are affecting our own evolution by everything we do -- the food we eat, the cars we drive, the number of babies we have, the energy we use, etc. We have entered the first age of conscious evolution.
Hubbard hopes her updated edition will be used as a guide in times that present a species-wide opportunity to radically reimagine humanitys future.
(The New Story) is the newly discovered universal evolutionary story based on the recent discovery of cosmogenesis, the scientifically based awareness that the universe has been, is now and will ever be evolving -- and so are we, Hubbard explains. It is also obvious that nature is like an evolutionary spiral. It takes jumps toward higher consciousness, freedom and order through forming new whole systems. We are being connected to one another as one living system -- the next whole system jump.
In her work, Hubbard builds upon and merges ideas from a variety of fields and disciplines. Her goal is to map peaks of social creativity and projects that move us toward a positive future, launching a social potential movement in a self-actualizing society.

When it comes to the future of energy, futurist Jack Uldrich says, The nature of how power is being produced, distributed and consumed is changing and so must those who run the industry.
The world is going to change tomorrow--this is certain, says Uldrich. If people dont pick up on these subtle changes, theyll end up locked up, inflexible and potentially out of business. Technology is going to require the energy industry to be nimble and adaptable in order to steer themselves into the future.
Uldrich is slated to address the National Fluid Power Associations Annual Conference in San Diego tomorrow, March 12th. According the NFPA, Fluid power is a term describing hydraulics and pneumatics technologies. Fluid power has the highest power density of all conventional power- transmission technologies.
Uldrich will deliver his keynote, The Big AHA: How to Future-Proof Yourself Against Tomorrow's Trends, Today. He will discuss a variety of technological advancements that will impact the fluid power industry such as wearable technology that will to control and automate smart homes to optimize energy efficiency, 3-D manufacturing, mobile computing which will reduce the need for physical stores, reducing real estate and energy costs, nanotechnology, robotics, sensors, and supercomputers.
Uldrich, a highly acclaimed futurist and public speaker whose aim is to help the NFPA and their member companies thrive in increasingly competitive energy markets. Uldrich has worked with a number of companies and dozens of trade associations in the utility industry. Some of his recent keynotes have been delivered at ABBs recent product launch tour on sensors, the CleaResults Energy Summit, Western Energy Institute, Southern Company, SDG&E, SMUD, Eaton, BP, the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, Missouri River Energy, Northwest Energy, Idaho Power and the Northeast and Northwest Public Power Associations.

Campaigners fighting to save the historic Futurist cinema say they will not give up after new Lime Street regeneration plans did not include the building.
Save the Futurist say they are aware of commercial interest in the site and hoped at least the facade of the 1912 building would be saved in the 35m plans.
Disappointed only part of the cinemas facade features in the new designs for Lime Street.
The group urged for the proposals to be reconsidered and said they would continue to fight their cause.
Design images for a new look Lime Street, revealed by the ECHO, have been widely criticised with Joe Anderson calling for them to be reviewed.
In pictures: Inside the Futurist

A spokesman for Save the Futurist said campaigners had been left disappointed to see only part of the facade, which would be used to form a balcony overlooking Lime Street, included in the scheme.
Iain Hoskins said: We would have liked to save the whole building and saying it cant be saved is unfortunate - it can, its just economics.
We are still campaigning to save the facade of the Futurist. Adding a bit of it to the site is not really appropriate and I think, with the groundswell of support we have had over the weekend, it shocked quite a lot of people because its just a crying shame.
The rest is here:
Lime Street: Campaigners to carry on fighting to save the Futurist's facade
Given the seemingly endless influx of sequels, remakes, reboots and reimaginings, the prospect of an original blockbuster is quite thrilling. While recent attempts (Jupiter Ascending, Chappie) have been patchy, Brad Birds latest adventure, Tomorrowland, looks set to buck the trend.
Weve already been treated to a deviously mysterious teaser, which offered a glimpse of the universe that was being created. Now a full-length trailer has supplied us with a deeper look at what to expect.

The film follows a wayward teen, played by Britt Robertson, who finds herself in the possession of a magical pin that can transport her to a fantastical other world. Her search for details leads her to George Clooneys boy genius turned resentful older man, and Hugh Laurie, who appears to be evil.
The second trailer offers more snapshots of the futuristic Tomorrowland, which shares the same name as a themed area of Disneyland. It also contain some recognisable rides, including Space Mountain, so we wouldnt put it past Disney to subsequently reveal stronger links between the park and the film.
Interestingly, the title appears to have been tweaked for international audiences. While its being promoted as Tomorrowland in the US, the latest UK trailer has it down as Tomorrowland: A World Beyond. Meanwhile, due to a naming conflict with a music festival, it will be called TomorrowWorld in some European countries.
Tomorrowland: A World Beyond appears in cinemas on 22 May.

Campaigners hoping to save the Futurist Cinema on Liverpools Lime Street say they are aware of commercial interest in the building - depending on its condition.
And today campaigners called on Liverpool council to allow them to enter the building with a surveyor to see for themselves the state of the old cinema premises.
Those fighting for the building to be brought back into use want to see if any internal damage is repairable.
The authority maintains the site, which is at the heart of expected regeneration plans, is too damaged to be completely saved but have said they will share structural information with campaigners.
The future of the cinema and its much-loved facade is in doubt as the site lies on part of Lime Street that is expected to undergo significant regeneration in the coming years.
Pictures on the website of developers Neptune, said to be merely illustrative rather than actual proposals, suggest the two pubs at either end of the development - The Crown and The Vines - will remain, but show a dramatic change in between, with student homes, shops and a hotel among possible new structures.
The council has confirmed it is looking to integrate a section of the existing Futurist Cinema facade into the design of any future development and has had positive discussions with the Save the Futurist campaign group.
But, with plans for the Lime Street regeneration expected to be submitted to planning chiefs soon, campaigners are hoping to go further and save the building, preferably bringing it back into commercial use.
Among their wishes is to be able to send representatives inside the site to see how bad its condition is.
Recently a huge banner calling for the building to be saved from demolition was placed on the building while more than 2,700 people have signed a petition backing the campaign.

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) March 09, 2015
Not long ago as global futurist Jack Uldrich addressed the Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter Society (CPCU) on the future of the insurance industry he said, Given the advances in data analytics, the 'Internet of Things,' robotics and collaborative consumption, we can expect big changes in the industry, including the possibility of new competitors.
Today when Uldrich addresses the International Conference of Captive Insurance in Orlando, Florida he will deliver his keynote, Foresight 2020: Ten Trends Transforming Tomorrow. His message, in addition to the top trends affecting captive insurance, will include thought provoking queries based on his writings such as, Will Google Insure the Future?
Uldrich contends, The latest trends, such as global high-speed Internet access, 'smart home' technology, satellites and drones will allow users of those technologies to harness the massive amount of data on people and objects around the globe. Then, by using its sophisticated algorithms and powerful supercomputers and/or quantum computers, users can crunch that data to come to a much clearer understanding of riskwhich is the basis of all insurance.
A well-versed speaker in insurance trends, Uldrich was also the closing keynote speaker for this year's Professional Insurance Marketing Association (PIMA) Conference. With PIMA, Uldrich strived to help their members understand how technological trends, business forces and social media are merging to create fresh and innovative opportunities in the affinity market. Among his many other insurance based clients are: Fireman's Fund Insurance, The CAS (Actuarial Society), and Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter Society (CPCU.)
Uldrich welcomes the opportunity to usher organizations and associations like CICA into the 21st century by helping them become aware of and then navigate the coming technological changes that for some might feel like a tidal wave. His knowledge, foresight and practical insight helps his audiences learn to swim amidst the sea of change.

Futurist Gives Heads Up on Captive InsuranceTechnological Trends
The historic Futurist cinema in Liverpool's Lime Street cannot be saved according to officials behind a huge regeneration project for Lime Street.
These pictures reveal the extent of the damage to the building - which campaigners are fighting to retain.
Concerns are so high over the state of the site that even the facade is considered beyond repair - though a section is set to be incorporated into the new look Lime Street.
The images, released by developers Neptune, show holes in the roof allowing daylight to shine into the auditorium, while trees can be seen breaking through the structure, which has deteriorated over several decades.
The dereliction is so severe that a specialist team of structural engineers asked to investigate the building last month considered parts of it unsafe for even them to enter.
An independent report compiled on the state of the building, seen by the ECHO, paints a damning portrait of its condition.
The Futurist cinema on Lime street today
It concludes: Our internal inspection of the building confirmed the findings of previous reports that it was in advanced state of decay and largely unsafe to access. It became apparent that the main cause of this deterioration is water ingress from the roof which is tracking through the building. This has caused widespread corrosion and rot of the structural fabric.
In particular, the access stair to the front of the building, the first floor room over the main entrance, the main auditorium and the roof are all in advanced state of deterioration and should be considered unsafe. Access to the rear of the building was not possible.
Engineers said the facade of the Futurist, built in 1912, was in reasonable condition but was leaning and that roots were forcing stones to come loose.

French electro-techno futurist David Carretta leads us on a journey down bleep street for the latest exclusive instalment of the Clash DJ Mix series.
After two decades in the game, Carretta has become known as something of a forward-thinking master at producing spiky, atmospheric electro that might work its way through anything from Italo-disco to noir-ish, cinematic electronica to the work of fellow French innovators like Laurent Garnier, Gesaffelstein and Arnaud Rebotini.
Thankfully, hes still crafting superb slabs of banging, synth-laden goodness that would sound perfect at any sweaty basement rave, as his latest EP, Land of Sin (released on The Hacker and Gesaffelsteins ZONE Records), demonstrates.
Carrettas exclusive Clash mix is a beguiling journey through electronic experimentation across the years, soundtracked by the likes of Kraftwerk, Cabaret Voltaire, Gary Numan and Throbbing Gristle.
But well let the man himself explain more: "For this mixtape I selected songs from the late 70s and early 80s to show just how incredibly modern and futuristic music from this era can still sound. At the same time I also had in the back of mind to compile the soundtrack to the kind of movie that I would love to see."
"Anyway, the music, and indeed artists, on this mix are those that have inspired me over the past three decades, going right back to when I first discovered electronic music. When you listen to this music youll hear the sounds that have that inspired not only me, but so many others over the years, and not just electronic music producers or DJs, but pop, rock and hip hop acts too."
"Unfortunately, time is limited and there are still many of my favourite artists from this period who I couldnt feature in this mix its just impossible to fit everything into the space of just one hour! So who knows, maybe I will follow this up with both a Volume 2 and a Volume 3 and showcase some of my favourite EBM and Italo-disco bands too."
Check it out now.
Tracklisting: Peter Baumann - Romance John Carpenter - Escape From New York Goblin - Profondo Rosso Gary Numan - Down In The Park D.A.F - Der Rauber Und Der Prinz Throbbing Gristle - Hot On The Heels Of Love Cabaret Voltaire - Just Fascination Crash Course In Science - Flying Turns Kraftwerk - Radio Stern Kraftwerk - Europe Endless

Editor's Note: In 1995, IndustryWeek asked 25 of the leading CEOs, management gurus and futurists what they saw coming for their companies, their jobs and their life between 1995 and 2020. While we are still five years away from 2020, we nevertheless are going to revisit those reflections, opinions and predictions in the coming weeks and months and see how well are they holding up. The first of the 25 trail blazers into the future (presented in alphabetical order) is:
Joel A. Barker, Futurist
In the last 25 years, managers -- and management philosophy -- have come to understand that there are multiple modes of change. One is what I call "paradigm enhancement," which the total-quality, continuous-improvement message has been all about.
The other is radical change -- or paradigm-shift change -- which is unlike any other kind of change that you must deal with as a manager.
... I think the challenge for management in the future is to substantially improve its ability to anticipate change. And there are two aspects of that:
One is to be able to spot a paradigm shift in its early formation -- because there is usually a five- to 10-year developmental life before it hits you between the eyes. Manager-leaders must also learn how to monitor what is happening outside the boundaries of their business, because often that is where radical change originates.
The typical manager reads inside his profession; but that's not where you find the future. My rule is to get into areas that you're unfamiliar with and look around and see what is going on. When I work with corporations, I set up teams of 50 people, having each person read five different magazines. So yon have 250 periodicals covered every month -- and they are all reading outside the boundaries.
The second thing is to understand the long-term implications of a new change when you find it. There are first-, second-, and third-order implications, which may be either positive or negative, and you have to discuss them in a patterned way.
If you don't take the time to think about the long-term implications, you will be seduced by the short term.
... The ability to understand the long-term positive and negative implications of potential decisions, before they are made, is the new frontier. And the responsibility we have for doing that is growing every day, because our information technology is so much more powerful than it was 20 or 30 years ago.
