The topic of each his presentations will be a customized version of his talk: \"The Future of the Energy Industry Will Require Unlearning.\" <\/p>\n
The talks will be based on Uldrich's two latest books: \"Higher Unlearning: 39 Post Requisite Lessons for Achieving a Successful Future\" and \"Foresight 2020: A Futurist Explores the Trends Transforming Tomorrow,\" will begin by discussing how continued advances in Smart Grid technologies, \"Big Data,\" natural gas discoveries and renewable energies will radically transform the energy, utility and power industries in the years ahead. Specific technologies to be discussed will include high temperature superconducting wires, solid-state transformers, smart meters, high storage grid-capable batteries as well as continued advances in home sensors, solar cells, wind turbines and fuel cell technology. An overview of his talk can be found in these articles: 39 Things That Keep Up Every Energy Industry Executive at Night and 5 Future Trends for the Utility Industry. <\/p>\n
Uldrich will then discuss why these trends will require unlearning as well as review the consequences of not embracing the concept of unlearning. Uldrich, who has been hailed as \"America's Chief Unlearning Officer,\" will conclude by providing an overview of how these technological changes will also transform customer behaviors and upend long-standing business models in the energy, utility and power industries. <\/p>\n
Throughout his talk, Uldrich will use vivid analogies and memorable stories, drawn from a wide spectrum of industries, to ensure his message of unlearning \"sticks\" with his audience.
