The Story Behind the Picture: Is Your Brand from The Olden Days?

“A brand today can go from hero to zero in a matter of months….” In that context, you’d better get ahead of the fast future, before it gets ahead of you! Consider Sony.

The Story Behind the Picture: Expect Velocity – Are You Thinking Fast Enough?

Back in 2006, I keynoted the Society of Cable Telecom Engineers at their annual conference in Tampa. At the time, YouTube was only just beginning to have an impact, and social networking was still in a nascent stage. It was January — Twitter wasn’t even around! My job was to alert them that forthcoming trends […]

Trends: What Comes Next with the Decline of an Empire?

It’s about time someone starts to talk about the future implications of the new world history that we are now watching unfold.

Article: Innovate now—the future is coming quickly : Five strategies for successful innovation.

Credit Union Magazine just ran a great article on my keynote yesterday in Las Vegas for Drive 17, the annual conference from CU Direct on trends in the automotive lending space for credit unions.

A Keynote on Credit Unions and the Future of Automotive Lending

Tomorrow morning, I’ll keynote Drive 17 — it’s a conference for credit union executives around the topic of the future of lending. Particularly, automative lending.

Innovation: The 8 Best Things Happening in “Growing” Golf Right Now!

I’ll admit, I’ve become a relentless golf nut, and I’ve even got a fairly decent handicap, often breaking 90 (which is less than what 1% of golfers can do.) I’ve got a son with a 1 handicap, which makes for rather interesting rounds! One of biggest career thrills as a futurist who focuses on the […]

Innovation: Why Every Company Needs What I Call an XBOX/Playstation Room!

Half of the events I do as a futurist and innovation expert are spent at corporate leadership events. I’m frequently engaged by a CEO or other senior executive for a global Fortune 1000 company to come in and challenge their team as to how to align to a fast paced, disruptive future. After all, the reality […]

How a Futurist Thinks: What Should We Do About Zombie Cars in the Era of Self-Driving Cars?

I just had a short talk in an airport with an urban planner; the inevitable question came about as to where I was going, and then, what I do. (In today’s case, I’m going to speak to 250 cattle ranchers about their future….) So I explained the idea of a futurist, and in order to […]
