Here’s a video clip from a recent keynote — during the Q&A, I was asked by one member of the audience about what happens to careers in a world in which ‘the future belongs to those who are fast.’ Here’s my response!
There’s more on this topic in the Human Capital section of my website, over on the left….
Are you suffering from ‘Aggressive Indecision?’
Here’s one from the vaults — from a keynote for SAP way back in 2003!
Lots of organizations still suffering from this dread disease 11 years later!
C’mon folks – make a decision! You might find you like it!
Keynote: Colorado Department of Transportation, Denver – The Future of Transportation
Self-driving cars, electric vehicles, the future of intelligent highways and smart infrastructure. I was invited in to give a talk to local and state business officials, senior government representatives, economic development officials and many more, in order that they might have a good understanding of the implications and challenges. A good part of the message examined the economic development opportunities that might come to a region by aligning to these trends.
Keynote Case Study: Colorado Department of Transportation — Transportation Infrastructure Was Becoming Intelligent
The Colorado Department of Transportation brought me in to examine the future of transportation infrastructure.
Roads have traditionally been treated as fixed physical assets.
But technology was beginning to change that assumption.
Vehicles were becoming smarter.
Connectivity was improving.
Autonomous systems were developing.
And the infrastructure around transportation was beginning to gain intelligence of its own.
Six themes framed the discussion:
- Autonomous Vehicles. Self-driving technologies were creating new long-term infrastructure questions.
- Smart Roads. Transportation infrastructure was gaining greater digital capability.
- Connected Vehicles. Vehicles were increasingly able to communicate with systems around them.
- Data-Driven Transportation. Real-time information was becoming more important to traffic management and planning.
- Economic Development. Transportation technology increasingly influenced regional competitiveness.
- Long-Term Infrastructure Planning. Public infrastructure needed to anticipate technologies that could mature over decades.
Transportation planners face a unique problem.
They build assets intended to last for decades while the technology using those assets can change in years.
Transportation infrastructure was becoming intelligent — and long-term planning had to account for a rapidly changing mobility future.
A really cool keynote summary!
Earlier this week, I was a keynote speaker at HealthAchieve 2014, one of the largest healthcare conferences in North America. My talk was centered around the theme of ‘Healthcare 2020.”
I was thrilled to see that my talk was going to be ‘graphically recorded’ in real-time. Here’s the result!

Keynote Case Study: World Pharma Innovation Congress: Hyper-Science Is Rewriting The Future Of Pharma.
I opened the World Pharma Innovation Congress in London with a message about rapid scientific acceleration, global collaboration and the innovation opportunity emerging across the life sciences.
The keynote, “The Future of Pharma,” argued that hyper-science was rewriting the future of the industry.
Hyper-science, open innovation, global collaboration, faster knowledge cycles and growth opportunity were converging into a single story about speed.
Six trends are shaping that shift.
- Accelerating Medical Science. The knowledge base is expanding at extraordinary speed.
- Genomics & Personalization. Therapies are becoming more targeted and individualized.
- Open Innovation. Outside ideas and external partnerships are driving progress.
- Connected Healthcare. Digital and device connectivity are changing care delivery and data.
- Global Idea Networks. Collaboration across borders is speeding discovery.
- Changing Patient Expectations. Empowerment, information and outcomes matter more than ever.
The future of pharma belongs to those who move at the speed of science.
Pharma is one of several industries where I keep making the same argument on stage. The organizations that win are the ones willing to move as fast as the science underneath them. You can browse more of that work in the case studies collection here.
