Fascinating, engaging, and incredibly timely, this keynote explores one of the most dramatic shifts in history: the transition from an industrial society to one that is based on a deep understanding of an entirely new form of knowledge capital, behavior—our behaviors as well as those of the intelligent machines that we are building. Tom will entertain and educate your audience on the future of AI and how it will profoundly transform every aspect of our lives.
Gigatrends looks at the greatest technological shifts of the 21st century and lays out a roadmap to navigate the change, disruption, and opportunities they will create.
A certain world may be what we want and what we wish for but it is not what we need and it is not what we have. Uncertainty itself is not the enemy. Rather, history bears out that a climate of uncertainty creates some of the greatest opportunities and periods of innovation, which are quickly followed by periods of high prosperity. Many of today’s most successful companies, such as FedEx, Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon, were found or forged in times of high socioeconomic uncertainty. Consider that Apple’s iPod and iPhone were launched in 2001 and 2007, two of the worst economic periods in recent history. Often it takes a crisis of extreme proportions to bring us to the brink of breakthrough opportunity. Ironically, uncertainty often spurs creativity that is impossible to find in times of prosperity. It is a human condition that we do not feel the hunger of innovation as keenly when our bellies and wallets are full. In this keynote Tom will provide both a context for understanding uncertainty and a tool set to use in navigating it. This topic can be delivered as a webinar, keynote, or interactive workshop. The material can be customized to the specific set of needs and issues of the audience or organization. Tom will use a methodology for scenario-based planning that he has use across industries with executives, leaders, and boards of directors to help them build confidence and new product or services with which to navigate period of high uncertainty.
COVID-19 has brought healthcare to the verge of systemic failure as hospitals struggle to keep up with the enormous and fast accelerating demands being placed on them. Vital equipment needed by healthcare workers has been quickly depleted. Delays in viral testing have exposed millions and made it especially difficult to project the trajectory of COVID-19. Burdened by administrative costs that account for over 30% of all healthcare spending, the steady disappearance of community hospitals which are the first and often only line of defense for most of the population, and a severe shortage of primary care physicians, healthcare has been teetering on the edge of catastrophe for decades. While this isn’t the wake up call any of us would have hoped or asked for, COVID-19 is an opportunity to finally reimagine the sort of healthcare system we need. Reimagining Healthcare takes a hard, honest, and practical look at how we can bend the arc of healthcare towards a system that significantly improves outcomes, drives out administrative friction, and provides a patient-centered model that can be scaled into the next century to become a role model for every nation. Based on his upcoming book, Reimagining Healthcare is powerful, honest, and eye-opening keynote that offers solutions and hope for the future of healthcare.
The single most significant shift in business is underway – Digital Business Ecosystems. Simply put, Digital Business Ecosystems are at the heart of successful high growth companies such as Uber, Airbnb, Tesla, Google, Amazon, Netflix, Alibaba, Samsung, Nest, and GE. In this leading edge keynote, Tom looks at how Digital Disruption, Transformation and Business Ecosystems will be critical to the success of every business in every industry over the decades to come.
The event was amazing and everyone LOVED Tom. He really nailed it and was so engaging.
