Futurist Jack Uldrich is a straight talker when it comes to the latest business trends in farming and finance. Banking interactions," says Uldrich, "will continue to evolve as customers physical and virtual worlds become intertwined, and social networks and mobile platforms will transform customers banking experiences and expectations. Still other advances will create an environment where a premium is placed on unconventional thinking and risk-taking."

Having recently delivered a keynote address on future trends in agriculture and finances in San Antonio, TX on February 12th, futurist Jack Uldrich has been invited to speak for Farm Credit Bank of Texas again in Charleston, SC on March 5th. He will deliver his keynote, "The Big AHA: How to Future-Proof Yourself Against Tomorrow's Twelve Transformational Trends, Today."

The acronym AHA stands for Awareness, Humility and Action. Uldrich says, "continued advances in wearable technology, robotics, big data and the Internet of Things promise to transform the traditional banking industry. In fact, the Internet of Things (also known as the Industrial Internet) has alone been estimated to be a $15 trillion business opportunity in the coming decade! Having an AHA attitude on your side could transform your outlook."

In the past year, Jack Uldrich, who is also recognized as a leading expert in the field of change management and unlearning, has addressed dozens of agricultural corporations and associations, including Novozymes, Land O' Lakes, Ag Spectrum, MosaicAg, Case IH, The Christian Farmers Federation, The Iowa Institute for Cooperatives, The Agricultural Adaptation Council of Ontario, AgGateway, and the California Ag Summit. Uldrich regularly speaks with several other clients in a variety of industries such as the AMA, CoBank, Fiatech, United Healthcare, ABB, Wells Fargo, and Verizon Wireless.

Drawing on content from his upcoming book: "Business as Unusual: How to Future-Proof Your Business Against Tomorrow's Trends, Today," Uldrich will share insights on the Internet of Things, Big Data, and the Big AHA with his audience.

In his article entitled, Big Data: Agricultures Moneyball, Matthew Erickson says, agricultures fast-paced technological advancements are getting the industry in the game of leveraging data. Making certain that farmers are aware of how a specific company intends to use their data is paramount. The 21st century view of the world is changing through the use of data analytics and real-time information to satiate an information-hungry society. With less land to farm and more mouths to feed around the world, doing more with less has to be the focal point in agriculture. The use of data and innovative technologies," states Erickson, "will be one of the tools to help us achieve the goal of feeding 9 billion people by 2050." Global futurist and agricultural trend expert Jack Uldrich absolutely concurs.

Agriculture is changing at an astounding pace, says Uldrich, who has his finger on the pulse of these rapid shifts. Uldrich regularly addresses ag based audiences such as the Minnesota Dairy Council, Land OLakes, Case IH, The Agricultural Adaptation Council of Ontario, AgGateway, the California Ag Summit, Trimble Agriculture, InfoAg, the Minnesota-South Dakota Equipment Dealers Association. According to Uldrich, Big Data, prescriptive planting, precision agriculture, urban agriculture, and robotics are just a few of the game-changing trends in agriculture today.

He says, Future scenarios in agriculture might go something like this: On a 7,000-acre farm in California, a large combine drives itself with sub-meter accuracy and lays down fertilizer only in areas predetermined to need additional nutrients by the devices yield mapping software. Half a world away, on a rooftop in Berlin, Germany, sits an aquaponic farm that produces both vegetables and fish. It uses the fish waste to fertilize the plants, and the plants to purify the water. Both trends, in their separate ways, foreshadow how the agriculture industry will feed the 500 million new people expected to be added to the worlds population by the end of the decade. That scenario is just one of many that Uldrich outlines in his latest book, Foresight 20/20."

Having just returned to the U.S. from Banff, Canada where he presented to the Canola Council of Canada Annual Meeting, Uldrich will head to Indiana to keynote the Indiana Farm Bureaus Spring Meeting in Indianapolis on March 6th.

Uldrich will be the keynote speaker on Friday evening delivering his talk, Foresight 20/20: 10 Trends Transforming Agriculture Today. Parties interested in learning more about Jack Uldrich, his books, his daily blog or his speaking availability are encouraged to visit his website.

New York, NY (PRWEB) March 03, 2015

Futurist Jack Uldrich says, "Half of the predictions about the future are wrong; the trouble is people dont know which half. This might seem like an odd statement coming from a futurist, but the point is that no one can predict the future. The future can and should be prepared for, and that is the cornerstone of my work.

Futurist Jack Uldrich to Discuss Future Trends in Pharmaceuticals, Finances and Farming

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) March 04, 2015

According to futurist Jack Uldrich, "There are several new technologies and global business trends in computer processing, data storage, bandwidth, the sequencing of genomes, advances in biotechnology, nanotechnology, and robotics that are going to double every year of this decade. The impact of these advances on agriculture will be vast and the changes are going to feel like a tsunami to some. Preparing farmers and leaders in agriculture for these changes is paramount."

Uldrich, who has addressed the PMA, AgConnect, Case IH, Minnesota Dairy Farmers Association and UnitedAg, among others in recent months, is passionate in his pursuit to prepare people in a wide variety of other industries as well. Uldrich is a regular speaker for healthcare, education, energy, finance, retail and manufacturing events and firmly believes that creativity and action are more powerful and versatile than knowledge.

But when it comes to the future of agriculture, Uldrich hits on hard hitting topics like GMOs, urban agriculture and sensor technology. In his blog post, A Futurist's Outlook: Five Technological trends in Agriculture Uldrich says, "consider just one recent advance: a new nanoparticle vaccine. If successful, this nanotechnology-enhanced treatment will allow cattle to receive a single vaccine for a multiple number of diseases, including bovine viral diarrhea, bovine ephemeral fever and cattle tick fever."

Following his keynote in Banff, Uldrich will address The Farm Credit Bank of Texas in Charleston, SC on March 5th and the Indiana Farm Buerau in Indianapolis on March 6th. Parties interested in learning more about Jack Uldrich, his books, his daily blog or his speaking availability are encouraged to visit his website.
