The future of business: 4 futurists in conversation (Johannesburg Sessions) - Video

Acclaimed business futurist, keynote speaker and best-selling author, Jack Uldrich has been selected to deliver the closing keynote address at the Michigan Municipal Risk Management Authority's annual risk management workshop. Uldrich will discuss a number of emerging technology trends, including advances in nanotechnology, the Internet of Things, computational analytics and Big Data.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) March 05, 2013

The talk, based on Uldrichs latest book, "Foresight 20/20: A Futurist Explores the Trends Transforming Tomorrow," will begin by discussing how continued advances in information technologies, biotechnology, nanotechnology, robotics, radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, genomics, regenerative medicine and social networking will radically transform the insurance industry in the decade ahead. (A preview of some of Uldrich's thought can be found in this article, Five Foreseeable Future Risks.)

Uldrich will then discuss why future trends such as genomics, gaming dynamics, locational intelligence and computational analytics will demand unlearning from the insurance industry. Uldrich, who has been hailed as Americas Chief Unlearning Officer, will conclude by reviewing specific habits, customs, beliefs, ideas and business models that insurance industry professionals canand mustunlearn. Throughout his talk, he will use vivid analogies and memorable stories, drawn from a wide spectrum of industries, to ensure his message of unlearning sticks with his audience.

In the past year, Uldrich has addressed dozens of corporations, organizations and associations, including Guardian Life Insurance, USAA, the New Jersey CIO Summit, Cisco, the Chicago Quantitative Alliance, IBM, WiPro, Wells Fargo, General Electric and the Risk Management and Insurance Industry.
