Technology/Future

The Future Requires Unlearning. The pace of technological change is accelerating and today's organizations are living in a world where "constant change is the only constant." Life-long learning will obviously be more essential than ever in this chaotic and churning environment; but often lost in this new emerging reality of exponential change is the fact that before an organization can seize tomorrow's opportunities it must first unlearn old, obsolete knowledge as well as unlearn the old ways of doing business. In this fascinating, informative, entertaining, interactive, and enlightening presentation, noted global futurist and best-selling author, Jack Uldrich--who has been hailed by BusinessWeek as "America's Chief Unlearning Officer" -- will not only explain why unlearning is a critical skill for a company or an organization's employees, he will also demonstrate how unlearning can help:

• Successfully navigate a future where the pace of scientific and technological knowledge is doubling every seven years;
• Prepare for competition that doesn't yet exist; and
• Seize opportunities which are, today, only on the periphery of their imagination.
