Global Futurist Jack Uldrich has been invited to address a group of senior leaders of an American multinational diversified hospitality company on Sunday, April 30, in Chicago, IL.
Chicago, IL, April 28, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Mergers and acquisitions traditionally upset the alignment of both companies that are involved. When the companies involved are well established in their ways, it calls for a great deal of unlearning.
Futurist and Founder of the School of Unlearning Jack Uldrich will be speaking to one such company this Sunday, April 30 in Chicago, IL. He will deliver his keynote, "The Big AHA: How to Future-Proof Your Business Against Tomorrow's Transformational Trends Today."
"Unlearning is a matter of becoming aware of your old habits and ways, understanding that they no longer serve you, and undertaking the sometimes uncomfortable process of developing new practices. It is the essence of future-proofing."

Unlearning is one of Jack Uldrich's foremost specialties.
Uldrich says, "The reality is, all organizations must unlearn old, obsolete knowledge and old ways of doing business before they can seize tomorrow’s opportunities. But in the case of a merger, it is paramount that both companies find common ground and a new shared vocabulary that will empower the new firm."
"This means there is going to be a lot of unlearning that needs to take place."
What precisely does that man who has been hailed by BusinessWeek as "America's Chief Unlearning Officer" mean?
"Unlearning is a matter of becoming aware of your old habits and ways, understanding that they no longer serve you, and undertaking the sometimes uncomfortable process of developing new practices. It is the essence of future-proofing."

The Internet of Things, nanotechnology, mobile data, big data, green energy saving will be among the topics Uldrich will touch on.
