Highly recognized as a leading expert in the field of change management and unlearning, Uldrich will conclude by providing an overview of how these technological changes will also transform customer behaviors and upend long-standing business models.

Following a well-received presentation to the American Medical Association in Washington, DC, last week, Futurist Jack Uldrich will deliver a keynote address to Optum leaders and employees on Wednesday, March 12th in Dallas, Texas.

Throughout the speech Uldrich will also focus on why these trends will demand unlearning and discuss why participants must embrace the concept of unlearning in order to achieve future success. He will conclude by reviewing specific habits, customs, beliefs and ideas that healthcare professionals canand mustunlearn. His goal is to ensure his message of unlearning remains with his audience at Optum for years to come.
