Speaking Topics
  • Gigatrends: Seven Technology Trends Shaping The Future of Everything

    Gigatrends looks at the greatest technological shifts of the 21st century and lays out a roadmap to navigate the change, disruption, and opportunities they will create.

  • Navigating Uncertainty

    A certain world may be what we want and what we wish for but it is not what we need and it is not what we have. Uncertainty itself is not the enemy. Rather, history bears out that a climate of uncertainty creates some of the greatest opportunities and periods of innovation, which are quickly followed by periods of high prosperity. Many of today’s most successful companies, such as FedEx, Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon, were found or forged in times of high socioeconomic uncertainty. Consider that Apple’s iPod and iPhone were launched in 2001 and 2007, two of the worst economic periods in recent history. Often it takes a crisis of extreme proportions to bring us to the brink of breakthrough opportunity. Ironically, uncertainty often spurs creativity that is impossible to find in times of prosperity. It is a human condition that we do not feel the hunger of innovation as keenly when our bellies and wallets are full. In this keynote Tom will provide both a context for understanding uncertainty and a tool set to use in navigating it. This topic can be delivered as a webinar, keynote, or interactive workshop. The material can be customized to the specific set of needs and issues of the audience or organization. Tom will use a methodology for scenario-based planning that he has use across industries with executives, leaders, and boards of directors to help them build confidence and new product or services with which to navigate period of high uncertainty.

  • Healthcare on the Precipice

    COVID-19 has brought healthcare to the verge of systemic failure as hospitals struggle to keep up with the enormous and fast accelerating demands being placed on them. Vital equipment needed by healthcare workers has been quickly depleted. Delays in viral testing have exposed millions and made it especially difficult to project the trajectory of COVID-19. Burdened by administrative costs that account for over 30% of all healthcare spending, the steady disappearance of community hospitals which are the first and often only line of defense for most of the population, and a severe shortage of primary care physicians, healthcare has been teetering on the edge of catastrophe for decades. While this isn’t the wake up call any of us would have hoped or asked for, COVID-19 is an opportunity to finally reimagine the sort of healthcare system we need. Reimagining Healthcare takes a hard, honest, and practical look at how we can bend the arc of healthcare towards a system that significantly improves outcomes, drives out administrative friction, and provides a patient-centered model that can be scaled into the next century to become a role model for every nation. Based on his upcoming book, Reimagining Healthcare is powerful, honest, and eye-opening keynote that offers solutions and hope for the future of healthcare.

  • Digital Disruption

    The single most significant shift in business is underway – Digital Business Ecosystems. Simply put, Digital Business Ecosystems are at the heart of successful high growth companies such as Uber, Airbnb, Tesla, Google, Amazon, Netflix, Alibaba, Samsung, Nest, and GE. In this leading edge keynote, Tom looks at how Digital Disruption, Transformation and Business Ecosystems will be critical to the success of every business in every industry over the decades to come.

  • Cybersecurity

    Few things create as much risk for today’s organizations as cyber threats. However, cyber risk isn’t just a tech problem. Yes, you need need hardened systems and talented people on the front lines, but the greatest cyber risks begin and end in the c-suite. In this hard-hitting, fast-paced keynote Tom looks at the critical role that leadership plays in creating a culture for a cyber-aware organization, and setting the course for how companies will deal with the inevitability of breaches and cyber attacks.

  • Innovation

    Come prepared for an enlightening and life-changing discussion about the importance of innovation and get ready to take a hard look at how issues of culture, generations, and leadership impact the way we innovate. Tom’s approach is insightful and cutting-edge, but be forewarned, at times unorthodox. It’s the reason Forbes.com called him a Business Visionary with an incisive view of world trade and why, in the words of his long time mentor Peter Drucker, “Tom makes you rethink not only your business but yourself.”
