Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) September 30, 2014

This year's Textile Rental Services Association (TRSA) has a terrific lineup of keynote speakers including "Hero of the High Seas" Captain Richard Phillips, Business Developer Mike Jensen and Global Futurist Jack Uldrich.

TRSAs agenda presents these three thought-provoking speakers covering issues that impact numerous facets of textile services operations. From economy-wide business and human resources trends to industry-specific topics, the 2014 Annual Conference programming guides attendees results-driven strategic planning. And futurist Jack Uldrich will address how to go about their strategic planning with his talk, "Preparing for Profound Change."

The material presented is based on a combination of Uldrich's best-selling books, "Foresight 2020: A Futurist Explores the Trends Transforming Tomorrow" and Jump the Curve; 50 Essential Strategies to Help Your Company Stay Ahead of Emerging Technologies.

Uldrich will also focus on why these trends will demand unlearning, and discuss why leaders in the textile industry need to embrace the concept of unlearning in order to achieve future success. Uldrich, who has been hailed as "America's Chief Unlearning Officer," will conclude by reviewing specific habits, customs, beliefs and ideas that manufacturing leaders can--and must--unlearn. With the use of vivid analogies and memorable stories drawn from a wide spectrum of industries, Uldrich will ensure his message of unlearning remains with his TRSA audience for years to come. A sample of his views on technological trends can be viewed here.

An internationally respected expert on future trends, strategic planning, leadership and unlearning, Uldrich has advised hundreds of professional, business, and governmental organizations. Some of his most recent clients include Verizon Wireless, AgBank, the Western Energy Institute, the PMMI and The National Council for Continuing Education & Training. He has served as a commentator on CNN, CNBC, NPR, and James Woods' "Futurescape."

Following 9 keynote speaking engagements in September, Trend Expert and Change Agent Jack Uldrich will headline 11 events throughout the U.S.

Uldrich is a Futurist. According to Wikipedia, "the term 'futurist' most commonly refers to authors, consultants, organizational leaders and others who engage in interdisciplinary and systems thinking to advise private and public organizations on such matters as diverse global trends, possible scenarios, emerging market opportunities and risk management.

"In the mid1940s the first professional "futurist" consulting institutions like RAND and SRI began to engage in long-range planning, systematic trend watching, scenario development, and visioning, at first under World War II military and government contract and, beginning in the 1950s, for private institutions and corporations."

Uldrich is a former naval intelligence officer and Defense Department official. He also served as the Director of the Minnesota Office of Strategic and Long Range Planning under Governor Jesse Ventura.

His bestselling and award-winning books include, Unlearning 101: 101 Lessons in Thinking Inside-Out the Box, Higher Unlearning: 39 Post-Requisite Lessons for Achieving a Successful Future, The Next Big Thing is Really Small: How Nanotechnology Will Change the Future of Your Business, and Jump the Curve: 50 Essential Strategies to Help Your Company Stay Ahead of Emerging Technologies. He is also the author of Green Investing: A Guide to Making Money through Environment-Friendly Stocks.
