  (What’s The Future) of… My Industry?

  From generative AI to the metaverse, disruptive tech is shaking up every industry. But the real question isn’t what’s changing — it’s are you ready to lead through it?

• The Four Stages of AI Maturity: The Path to Becoming an Exponential Business

  What does leadership and business model innovation look like in an AI-first world? The answer is ‘exponential.’

  Generative AI is affecting the trajectory of all businesses, separating early adopters and high performers from the rest. Brian is on the front lines with leading businesses and has developed a maturity model to accelerate AI-led growth.

  Beyond digitizing, automating, and optimizing existing processes, taking out costs, and scaling efficiencies, Brian will share how innovative companies are augmenting work itself. By touring the AI Maturity Model, he’ll demonstrate how to reimagine leadership, supercharge performance, and unlock exponential outcomes and potential.

  In this inspiring session, Brian will...

  • Reveal how companies fall into the automation trap and how they may miss opportunities for innovation and growth.

  • Introduce how businesses are prioritizing digitization and automation initiatives powered by AI.

  • Break-down how AI unlocks the ability to do things better and also enable work that couldn’t be done before for iterative, new, and exponential value creation.

• The Race to 2030: Building a Culture of Innovation, to Thrive Against Digital Darwinism

  What can we learn from some of the colossal mistakes we have seen from some of the biggest companies in the world? How can you prevent your company from making the same mistakes?

  Digital Darwinism is reshaping markets and behaviors, and its only accelerating. With AI, automation, spatial computing, robotics, web3, metaverse, blockchain, and whatever comes next, the time is now to proact against disruption, before it has a chance to disrupt.

  Legacy management, rigid processes, fixed mindsets, and risk-averse cultures may be common across every organization, but combined, they make evolving against Digital Darwinism onerous and sluggish. The key is to understand the future to build toward it today, to reimagine yesterday’s business and operational models for tomorrow’s world, right now.

  In this exciting and just-in-time session, Brian will help you ensure your business remains not only relevant, but innovative and future-proofed against Digital Darwinism.

  Audiences will learn:

  • How incumbent companies are making mistakes and what you can do to avoid their fates.

  • How to break free from “management” to unlock next-generation leadership.

  • How to create a culture of innovation, to identify, lead, and empower business mavericks and change-makers within your organization.

  • The role people play in innovation, new skills needed, and new models for collaboration and experimentation.

  • How to play a role in leading change and how to embrace creativity and curiosity to show up differently every day.

• The Rise of ‘Generation-C’: Learning the ‘6th Love Language’ of Your Connected and Conscious Customers (and Employees)

  You’ve heard of Millennials (GEN-Y) and Centennials (GEN-Z), now meet GEN-C, the cross-generational market of more informed, discerning, and conscious customers.

  While some pay attention to traditional demographics such as generations and age groups, Brian focuses on psychographic connections between shared and evolving behaviors, interests, and aspirations. This is the difference between digital transformation and relationship transformation. Digital, social, mobile, and now AI represent the biggest catalysts driving irreversible shifts in consumer and employee behaviors, expectations, preferences, and values. This cycle only continues with new every wave of technological disruption.

  As one of the world’s pioneers in digital anthropology, Brian Solis will introduce a multi-generational (majority) set of employees and customers and demystify how they make decisions, what matters to them, and what erodes their affinity and loyalty.

  More importantly, Brian will share how these digital-centered behaviors represent their “love language” to unlock digital empathy. This secret reveals how to deliver more meaningful products, services, and experience that give any brand the unique ability to connect the soul of the organization to the soul of the customer.

  In this fun and inspiring session, Brian will...

  • Introduce Generation-C (aka digital narcissists aka accidental narcissists) and their behaviors, characteristics, and values.

  • Humanize the new customer to inspire CX, service, marketing, operational, and product innovation.

  • Reveal the “6th” love language” and how digital empathy sets the stage for “relationship transformation.”
