Keynotes:
Big Trends in Agriculture: Transforming the World's Oldest Profession
Whether it’s driverless tractors, weed-zapping robots or data-transmitting crops, the future of farming is happening faster than you might think!
Many people continue to view farming from the sepia-toned photos of the 1940s and 1950s. They don’t realize the technological and scientific advances or the massive opportunities for international growth. Growers that focus on innovation as a core value will find success; their innovation will focus on the triple-feature need for growth, efficiency and ingestion of new science. It will be by adopting new methodologies, products, partnerships and ideas that they will learn to thrive.
Jim is recognized worldwide as a “thought leader” and authority on global trends, rapid business model change, business transformation in a period of economic uncertainty, and the necessity for fast-paced innovation.
Jim has extensive experience with all aspects of the agricultural sector. A good example? He was the opening keynote speaker at a conference of the top 100 cattle ranchers, feedlots and stockers in the US — and thrilled the audience with his insight into global trends impacting the agriculture sector. Based on that event, he was then invited in to inspire 500 cattle ranchers — a very discerning audience — with the feedback that “you certainly challenged us as to the pace of change the future is bringing to our industry, at the same time that you inspired us to embrace it’s opportunities. You were outstanding! Ranchers are pretty conservative – particularly here in Texas – but you were the best speaker we’ve ever had at our event!”
Insurance in the Era of Disruption: The Challenge of Change with Fintech, Accelerated Risk and Hyper-Connectivity
Let’s face it: the trends impacting life and property/casualty and groups benefits insurance companies are real.
The industry is bring rapidly disrupted by tech companies. Existing brokerage and distribution networks will be obliterated as more people buy insurance direct. Predictive analytics will shift the industry away from actuarial based historical assessment to real-time coverage. Policy niches, micro-insurance and just-in-time insurance will drive an increasing number of revenue models. The Internet of Things (IoT) and massive connectivity will provide for massive market and business model disruption. Fast paced trends involving self-driving cars, the sharing economy, blockchains, personal drones, swarmbots, smart dust, artificial intelligence and augmented reality will either mitigate, accelerate or challenge the very notion of risk assessment and underwriting! What happens when Amazon, Google or some kid in a garage decide to really change the insurance business model?
What seemed to be science fiction just a few short years ago has become a reality today, as time compresses and the future accelerates. Whichever way you look, all sectors of the insurance industry are set for an era of disruption, challenge and change!
Is the industry ready for transformative change? Not really! A recent survey indicated that while 94% of Chief Strategy Officers at insurance companies agree that tech will “rapidly change their industry in 5 years,” fewer than 1 in 5 CSOs believe their companies are prepared. Does the insurance industry have the innovation culture necessary to deal with the potential for what comes next? Maybe not.
Jim Carroll has been helping insurance organizations in the world understand the tsunami of change that is FinTech, the impact of mobile technology, social networks, rapid business emergence, accelerated risk, the emergence of new global competitors and heightened customer expectations. In his keynotes he puts into perspective the real trends impacting the future of insurance, offering critical insight into the key innovation and leadership strategies in a time of disruptive change.
What Do World Class Innovators Do That Others Don’t Do?
World class innovators possess a relentless focus on growth; continually transition their revenue source; and solve customers problems – before the customer knows it’s a problem. They focus on upside down innovation by sourcing innovation ideas through their customers. They concentrate on ingesting fast ideas; check their speed and focus on corporate agility; and focus on long term wins through constant incremental improvements. They know that skills partnerships are a key success factor.
And most important: world class innovators aren’t afraid to back away from big ideas: they know that right now it’s a great time to made bold decisions, and take decisive advantage to forge aggressive new paths against their competitors.
When Do We Get to Normal? Why Thinking BIG Will Help You Seize The Opportunities of the 21st Century
We live in a period of time in which opportunities abound, particularly as society works to solve the big problems related to health care, the environment and energy. There are also huge opportunities related to business model disruption; the emergence of a new global infrastructure involving wireless and location intelligence technologies; the rapid emergence of new markets and products and countless other opportunities.
The future belongs to those who are bold, and who are willing to think about the BIG BETS that need to be made to seize the future. In this keynote, you’ll be impassioned to think about how the real opportunities of the future will unfold.
Healthcare 2020: The Transformative Trends That Will REALLY Define Our Future
Everyone in a leadership position in the US health care system knows that even with health care reform, the challenges facing the US health care system are substantial and immense. That’s why innovation has quickly come to be one of the top issues that senior healthcare executives and medical professionals are thinking about. There is a realization that there is an urgent need to challenge the very philosophies upon which the system is built. They’re seeking insight into the major scientific, technological, consumer and social trends that will, by the year 2020, allow for some very dramatic change in the concept of health care delivery.
The fact is, we are going to witness more change in the world of health care in the next ten years than we have seen in the last 200. And that’s why organizations have been engaging Jim Carroll. For the last fifteen years, Jim has been providing his guidance into future trends to a wide range of global Fortune 1000 companies, associations, and other groups. In his Healthcare2020 keynote, Jim puts into perspective why innovation is no longer just a fashionable phrase — it’s the critical new leadership focus for executives in the health care sector.
Location is the New Intelligence: Customer Interaction in the Era of Pervasive Mobile
We’re at the leading edge of the merger of three perfect trends: the rapid and massive emergence of a massive mobile infrastructure with increasingly intelligent devices. Pervasive location awareness as a results of GPS and location intelligence/mapping trends. And a consumer mindset that is increasingly open to new forms of interaction.
The result is massive business model disruption, absolutely transformative market change, and complete obliteration of old assumptions as the nature of the customer relationship. Smart, innovative super-heroes know that this is an unprecedented time to jump on the emergence of location as the new intelligence, in order to provide for new ways of product uplift in the retail space, changing the very nature of customer loyalty through new forms of interaction, and enhancing existing one-to-one conversations through a more direct, distinct and fascinating new form of location based relationships.
Moving Beyond the Meltdown: Aligning Yourself for Growth Through Innovation
In the face of widespread economic volatility, organizations have three essential choices: they can panic, making rash decisions on structure, markets, investments; they can freeze and do nothing; or they can respond to rapid change through innovation, particularly with respect to strategies, structure, capabilities, markets, products, and activities.
It’s timely and critical insight! Many CEO’s and senior executives understand that in addition to managing existing challenges, now is the time to focus on trends and the future, and that they need to act quickly to establish an innovative mindset to get there intact. Jim provides his unique insight on staying ahead in volatile times, through his signature keynote addresses, after-dinner talks, discussions at small intimate management/Board meetings, or by speaking and participating in large scale senior management and leadership meetings.
7 Things You Need to Do Right Now: Aligning The Fast Future to Your Current Strategy
Product innovations occur today at such a pace that “time to market” is now measured in weeks rather than years. A furious pace of technological innovation continues unabated, with the rapid emergence of new technologies that change entire industries. Customer mindset has become increasingly difficult to capture as we become a society with massive attention deficits. Business models are subject to upheaval due to economic turmoil, commercialization of product, and the rapid emergence of new competitors.
It’s a fast paced world — and that’s why leading edge organizations are focused on key leadership strategies that provide for a fast paced future. In this inspirational keynote, Jim Carroll will challenge you to confront the “big trends” that you need to face head on and what you should be doing RIGHT NOW.
Where’s the Growth? Transformative Opportunities for Transformative Times
These are truly transformative times, with an alignment of political leaders, business executives, consumers, researchers and industry groups all realizing that now is the time that we need to solve complex problems with bold thinking and “big ideas.” Some of the biggest organizations in the world – including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Toshiba, the Swiss Innovation Forum, the BBC, Motorola and Nestle – have sought just such insight from Jim Carroll. As someone who has assisted hundreds of organizations in thinking about and preparing for the future, Jim Carroll has become globally recognized as one of the world’s leading international futurists.
In a highly customized presentation, he outlines the major trends that will impact you, and what you need to start doing now in order to respond. He will open your mind up to the opportunities of this transformative time – a new era when big ideas and bold action are proving to be the foundation for significant transformation in how we approach global challenges, problems and opportunities. In doing so, he will ensure you are well positioned for the future!
Brand Innovation At the Speed of Twitter: How to Innovate in the Era of Hyperconnectivity
We’re in a new fast paced world─already, 175 million people worldwide participate on social networks through mobile technology. Organizations are faced with tremendous new challenges and opportunities in building and sustaining a brand image in this era of hyperconnected consumers. And given the rate of change that is occurring as consumers increasingly begin to influence brand perception, the new reality is that it costs substantially more to maintain relevance of brand image today. The biggest challenge for brands? We find ourselves in a period of time in which a brand is no longer what you say it is─it’s what the consumer says it is!
Join International futurist, trends and innovation expert Jim Carroll as he outlines the key challenges that an organization faces with the new world of socialnetworks; the strategies that must be pursued to keep a brand fresh; and the interactive strategies and innovative methods that organizations are adopting to adapt to this new consumer reality.
What’s Happening with Our Workforce: Making Generations Work!
Join international futurist, trends & innovation expert Jim Carroll as he explores some of the biggest challenges facing organizations today. With the coming “end of retirement,” most companies will come to realize they’ll need a lot of telephones with big buttons for members of the 70+ folk who are still a part of their workforce — and a lot of innovative workplace practices as well.
That’s but one challenge –the arrival of “Gen-Connect” (also known as “Gen-Y”) — the kids who have been wired with a mouse since birth — will lead to the question of whether “good luck” will be the only possible response to the question of “Managing Gen-Y.” This workplace weirdness will only be compounded by the ongoing rapid evolution of knowledge and skills, such that most organizations will find it impossible to find the highly specialized skills needed in the economy of the future. Are we really in an economy in which there is an emerging profession of folks known as “manure managers?” You bet — and it’s all part of the unique issues that companies must begin thinking about today.
SPEAKING.COM: What do you want people to learn/take away from your presentations?
CARROLL: I’ve become known for the extreme customization that I do. When I do a keynote for an auto company, I’m not doing the same talk that I did for a food company the week before. Clients today want concrete advice, very realistic predictions, and very specific insight as to what they need to change in terms of their approach to the future.
What I really do is take a good hard look at the trends that will impact those in the industry, and what they need to do from an innovation perspective to deal with the reality of those trends. I don’t think there are many speakers who do that. That’s why I seem to be so busy — the reality of my presentation hits home with people.
SPEAKING.COM: What kind of special prep work do you do prior to an event? How do you prepare for your speaking engagements?
CARROLL: Several things. I have many conference calls with the client to really focus on where I should go with my talk. I do tons of detailed research in a very effective tool called Dow Jones Factiva, which lets me do a highly customized search of millions of articles and hone in on the 500 that will really define the big issues in the industry. I have conference calls with boards and meetings planners. I write blog posts and record custom video clips to help promote the event. When you engage a keynote, you’re not just booking the talk — you really want to book a fellow event team member!
SPEAKING.COM: Have you had any particularly memorable speaking engagements / unusual situations arise while on the road?
CARROLL: Oh gosh yes. The time that NASA invited me in – twice it turns out! – to do a talk on ‘the future of Space.’ I don’t think many individuals have had that opportunity during their lifetime. NASA realized that organizations like SpaceX and others were going to redefine the space industry and they really needed to think differently.
Another big one was when Disney called. The most innovative and creative organization on the planet was inviting me to give a talk on how to be creative? That was a blast!
Finally, I’m a golfer, and so I was absolutely delighted to be invited in by the PGA of America twice to help put in perspective how we can continue to grow the game in the future.
SPEAKING.COM: What types of audiences would most benefit from your message?
CARROLL: To answer that, let’s outline the fact that I do three types of talks. • Large scale corporate or association events with audiences of 100 people or 7000 people — a keynote with a focus on the trends and issues impacting the people in the room, whether it’s an association, corporate event, sales event, or some meeting. • I do many corporate private events where a leader or CEO has issues they need to put on the table, and they need some help to frame those issues for their group. • I do many private small-scale workshops for 10 to 20 people in an intimate setting where we talk and think about future issues and what we need to do to turn those into opportunities.
SPEAKING.COM: Which of your keynote speaking topics are your favorites and why?
CARROLL: Favourite topics? I don’t really have any, because everything I do is so customized. However, I like to put the context of my talks into some sort of ‘theme box’. For example the “World Class Innovators” theme catches the attention of many people, or my title, “The Business Case for Fast” frames the challenge that many CEOs face at this time. So while I don’t have a “favourite topic,” I want clients to understand how I can create a highly customized talk that is really going to do something for them.
SPEAKING.COM: What inspired you to start doing speaking engagements?
CARROLL: It really happened by accident. I was an early user of the Internet from about 1982 or so (before it was known as the Internet). In the 1990s then, I wrote a whole bunch of books about the Internet and sold 1 million copies. That got me onto the speaking circuit, and at one point I realized that what I was really doing was describing the future for people. That got me excited, the audiences responded, and the rest is history.
At this point I estimate that I’ve spoken to 2 million people in over 35 countries around the world. It’s a pretty exciting career, particularly when I get messages from people telling me that I’ve helped shape their future and worldview in a very different way.
SPEAKING.COM: How do you keep your audience engaged and actively listening during your keynotes? Do you use case studies, personal stories and/or in your speeches?
CARROLL: I use the technology they are looking at during the talk! I do a lot of online text message polling. A few years ago, I realized that people are going to use their smart phones no matter what you do, so why not make that part of the talk? I pull up several polls on the screen during my talk — people can then response via text! It’s really cool, very interactive, and always a big hit.
SPEAKING.COM: What are some of the successes you’ve helped clients achieve?
CARROLL: When you watch your twitter feed after you’ve done a keynote, and you see the tremendous number of tweets from people you realize you really have changed their worldview and that’s a measure of success.
