Jack Uldrich (view bio)
Keynote Speaker
Jack Uldrich is an acclaimed global futurist, speaker, and best-selling author who is frequently asked, “What will the future of work look like?” His response is, “Predictably unpredictable.” So how can you prepare for the unpredictable? The answer will surprise you. The key is embracing paradox: learning to unlearn, thinking about the unthinkable, recognizing failure as a key component of success, and understanding that an awareness of one’s ignorance is a key component of true wisdom.
Jack Uldrich paints vivid pictures of what the world of work may look like in just a few short years and its many impacts on human resources. He provides an in-depth exploration of how the “Internet of Everything”, “Big Data”, artificial intelligence, blockchain, augmented reality, 5G technology and “collaborative consumption” will change everything in the very near future, and what we can do now to get ready. Jack will provide upbeat, practical and actionable insights on future trends, emerging technologies, innovation, change management and leadership.
