Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) February 02, 2015

The Internet of Things, Big Data, and 3D Printing are just a few of the current technological trends that are taking the world by storm and futurist Jack Uldrich makes a living helping companies navigate through them. He speaks over 100 times a year to a wide variety of businesses and organizations, especially on the transformation of health care, agriculture, education, energy, finance, retail and manufacturing. His platform is that creativity and action are more powerful and versatile than knowledge.

Uldrich says, "As a professional futurist, I frequently end my talks with the rather obvious reminder that no one can predict the future. I then twist this fact by flashing Peter Druckers famous quotation: The best way to predict your future is to create it. His keynotes tend to have an extra bit of fire based on his passion for the idea; "I love this idea of creating the future because it is empowering, optimistic and action-oriented. But, above all, it is true!"

His speaking topics range from custom presentations to "The Big AHA", "Business as Unusual" and "How the Internet of Things Will Open Up a Future of Opportunity." Following on the heels of nine presentations in January for clients such as the 2015 PIMA Annual Meeting, ACI and ACEC of NY's annual meetings, as well as the Independent Bike Dealers Summit and several private clients in telecommunications and banking, Uldrich will be addressing the following clients across the U.S. in February:

FEB 2: Wisconsin Bankers Association Milwaukee, WI

FEB 12: Farm Credit Bank of Texas Farm Credit and AgFirst San Antonio, TX

FEB 16: Outsourcing World Summit Int'l Assoc. of Outsourcing Professionals Phoenix, AZ

FEB 17: Hunter Douglas Event Hunter Douglas Las Vegas, NV

Futurist Jack Uldrich's job isn't just about clarifying the top trends that are coming. He also aims to help companies leverage technological advances to their advantage, and unleash underlying philosophies that help organizations embrace change. "The future is predictably unpredictable," but he also says, "executives attitudes and management philosophies can help them and their organizations soar through the myriad of changes that will be coming their way." To that end, Uldrich has been invited as the keynote speaker for this year's "BE" Conference in Milwaukee addressing executives in the banking industry on February 2nd.

The WBA's theme of "Banking in 2020 and Beyond" makes for a perfect diving board for Uldrich's keynote "Foresight 20/20: Ten Trends Transforming Tomorrow."

When it comes to finance, Uldrich says, "Banking executives need to become what I call 'Exponential Executives.' That is leaders who understand that as impressive as past technological advances have beenthe ATM, online banking and mobile banking, etcthey are just the beginning. Banking Interactions will continue to evolve as customers physical and virtual worlds become intertwined, and social networks and mobile platforms will transform customers banking experiences and expectations. Still other advances will create an environment where a premium is placed on unconventional thinking and risk-taking."
