The business world is facing yet another transformation, in this case relating to movement. The electric aerial vehicle revolution is about to transform personal and business travel, transportation, logistics, and supply chains. This new advanced air mobility phenomenon is inventing personal aerial travel, air taxis, new first responder capabilities, and self-flying vehicles, enabling millions of consumers around the world to take to the skies just as they adopted road travel decades ago. Emerging aerial technology, detailed in Chuck Martin’s latest book “Flying Vehicles: The Emergence of Personal Air Travel, Flying Cars, and Air Taxis" is about transporting people and things totally differently than in the past and creating efficiencies to travel to locations previously out of practical reach. The electric aerial revolution is being borne out of startups, established brands, airlines, and forward-looking governmental agencies fueling the velocity of aerial innovation. Flying vehicles, which take off and land straight up and down without the need for a traditional runway, are the transportation of the future. This fast-paced, informative presentation details the global role of flying vehicles, air taxis, flying cars, drones, and the massive challenges and impact on logistics, supply chains, the travel industry, and societal behavior. The advanced air mobility revolution is happening now, and Chuck Martin delves into the upheaval of the entire transportation infrastructure that is becoming a worldwide phenomenon.

The first major digital transformation was the Internet. That one was gradual, taking years for every individual and business to get online for the first time. The second transformation was mobile, which was faster, since everyone was already on the Internet. The third transformation underway relates to the connecting of billions and billions of devices in every location, using artificial intelligence to make sense of it all. Chuck Martin has identified seven major digital transforming forces of the Internet of Things: artificial intelligence, digital voice assistants, smart homes, drones and robots, connected cars, sensors, and electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles. Based on his book “Digital Transformation 3.0: The New Business-to-Consumer Connections of The Internet of Things,” this fast-paced presentation puts into context the significance of each of the transformers, highlighting the aspects that matter both in the short and the long term. Digital Transformation 3.0 deals with what is about to impact every business and define the future with all the implicaton involving the world of AI.

For the first time, more technology is being created than people can absorb and adopt. As a result, many businesses are feverishly plowing ahead unaware of what will work and when.

In this presentation, based on his upcoming book, Chuck Martin provides businesses with practical strategic and tactical guidance on how to navigate this phenomenon. He highlights how to deal with technologically driven forces hitting the market simultaneously. There are gaps between when advancements in any of these forces occur and when the marketplace will be ready to adopt them at scale.
