This year's theme of the Vision Councils Executive Summit is Vision 2020. They are asking, If you could see the future today, how much more effective could you be? What would you be focusing on? What would you change first? Global futurist Jack Uldrich, their keynote speaker is helping to address these questions with his presentation: Foresight 2020: How to Future-Proof Your Business.

Based on his latest book, Foresight 20/20: A Futurist Explores the Trends Transforming Tomorrow Uldrich will draw on the scenarios he and fellow futurist Simon Anderson have developed to help highlight just how fast the world is changing, and what leaders and practitioners in the vision industry need to do in order to future-proof themselves in the face of this sea of change.

In his blog post: Seeing What You Cant See, he says, As a visual learner, Ive become fond of analogies or metaphors that help keep me humbleoften, by reminding me of my ignorance. While ignorance may not be bliss, it may hold the key to wisdom. What you cant see is often times just as important, if not more important, than what you can see.

Uldrichs aim when speaking to the Vision Council Executive Summit is to help them with their Vision 2020 mission by helping them see both, what trends are coming, and helping them embrace what they cant see, and discussing in depth how to prepare for that paradox.

Jack Uldrich is a highly acclaimed global futurist, business speaker, and bestselling author. Uldrich, who has been a keynote speaker for the American Medical Association, United Healthcare, Fairview Hospitals, and St. Jude Medical is noted for his ability to deliver stimulating, new perspectives on competitive advantage, organizational change, and transformational leadership.

In addition to his expertise in the transformative trends of healthcare, Uldrich also speaks to audiences in agriculture, education, energy, finance, retail and manufacturing. His most recent presentation clients include Signal Hill, Informatica, Verizon Wireless, Emerson, and ABB/Thomas and Betts.

A Futurist's Prescription for the Vision Council Executive Summit: Foresight 20/20

Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) January 21, 2015

Bill Gates once famously said, Banking will remain necessary in the future, banks may not." Futurist Jack Uldrich wants his audiences in the financial sector, especially in the world of investment banking to be ready to embrace the future. To that end, Signal Hill has invited Uldrich to address their annual meeting being held in Las Vegas. Uldrich will focus on the major technological trends that will impact Signal Hill, and how they can utilize his concept of the the "Big AHA to better embrace those changes. (AHA is Uldrichs acronym for Awareness, Humility and Action.) He says these three elements are key components in future-proofing ones business against the changing tides of tomorrows technological trends.

As a futurist, Jack Uldrich is often asked the question as to what the coming decade will look like. He responds by saying, The honest answer is that no one knows. The better question to be asking is: how can business leaders prepare for a constantly changing future? An AHA moment may be the very answer to that question.

First, Uldrich claims that "leaders must become aware of the extraordinary changes taking place across todays global landscape. Not everything learned in the past about business, customers or competitors is still necessarily true today. Secondarily, having a sense of humility and admitting that outmoded ideas may no longer be serving a company is a crucial aspect in powerfully moving ahead into the future--even though we may not know what that future is.

Lastly, Once a leader is aware that change is the the only 'constant' in todays world, that leader must be humble enough to accept the fact that unlearning will be just as important as learning, and that specific actions must be taken to prepare for the future.

The answers to questions such as this and many more will be addressed in Uldrichs January 21st keynote to attendees of the Signal Hill Annual Meeting in Las Vegas, as well as in six more presentations focusing on future-proofing across the U. S. throughout the month of January.
