Montgomery, AL (PRWEB) January 27, 2015

Telecommunications is a constantly changing business. Every day older technology is being usurped with new technology that is faster, lighter and more efficient. Indeed, the only constant in the telecommunications business is change. As a future business trends expert, Jack Uldrich speaks on those trends and how to best embrace them for the coming years. In other words, Uldrich is in the future-proofing business.

On January 27th, Uldrich will be delivering a keynote address to one of the world's leading global providers of networking and communications equipment. Their products enable voice, data, video and Internet communications across a variety of network infrastructures. Their solutions are currently in use by service providers, private enterprises, government organizations and millions of individual users worldwide.

Uldrich will focus on his concept of the Big AHA--utilizing Awareness, Humility and Action as precepts to embracing change and jumping the curve when it comes to technological innovation. Uldrich will also discuss the specific future trends that may have the most impact on the firm's leaders and it's employees.

Uldrich has spoken all over the world on the topics of future trends, emerging technologies, innovation, change management and leadership. He has provided an in-depth exploration of how the Internet of Things, Big Data, social media, robotics, biotechnology, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, renewable energy and collaborative consumption are changing the world we live in. Most recently, Uldrich has spent his time addressing companies like Verizon Wireless, ABB, Informatica, Signal Hill and the American Vision Council.

Uldrich says, "In the near future, the greatest change will be the accelerating rate of change itself. My job as a futurist is to help the organizations I speak with to identify concrete actions to be taken today to future-proof their businesses against the tides of tomorrow.

Uldrich, hailed as "The Chief Unlearning Officer" by BusinessWeek Magazine, believes the principles of AHA are basic tenants for future-proofing, with humility being of particular importance. "Being humble enough to embrace the fact that we don't know what we don't know," says Uldrich, "opens us up to greater knowledge. It's a great paradox and one that all organizations can benefit from. Humble people are great to work with and they help create a terrific environment of collaboration and openness. That in turn makes for furtive ground for change and growth."

Uldrich will round out the month of January speaking in Phoenix and Florida.

Media wishing to know more about this event or to schedule an interview with Jack may contact Amy Tomczyk at (651) 343.0660.

New York, NY (PRWEB) January 26, 2015

When it comes to structural changes, the American Council of Engineering Companies know what they are talking about. When it comes to embracing organizational changes, highly acclaimed global futurist and public speaker Jack Uldrich knows whereof he speaks.

At the ACEC Anniversary Luncheon on January 26th, Uldrich will be delivering his presentation: "The Big AHA: How to Future-proof Your Business." He will be addressing the components of Awareness, Humility and Action (AHA) and the ways in which these three tenants are the foundations to future-proofing the industry of engineering.

Uldrich believes the Big AHA to be a sound structure when it comes to preparing for the future.

"In the area of awareness," says Uldrich, "everyone needs to have their eyes open to the pace and scale of the technological trends of tomorrow. Those trends are going to be highly transformative but to many they are terrifying to ponder. Being overwhelmed with change is a perfectly valid response. But if you don't even realize you are overwhelmed to begin with, you are far less likely to make any structural changes that will enhance your organization. Acknowledging where you are is the first step to future-proofing."

The second step, says Uldrich, is in yielding to humility." In order to drive this point home, Uldrich frequently asks his listeners about the common yield sign and of the the two colors that appear on that sign. The popular response is yellow and black when the actual colors are white and red. In fact, the yield sign hasnt been yellow and black since 1971. To the majority of his audiences Uldrich says, Welcome to the future. How many habits and thought patterns were ingrained in you when you were first starting to drive? If those are the patterns you are still operating with, its probably time to eat a little humble pie and update some of your practices. Humility is essential when it comes to embracing the future.

In addition to the Big AHA, Uldrich also focuses on the technological trends that will impact engineering and the economy in the coming years, most notably 3D Printing and nanotechnology. When it comes to the future of engineering Uldrich says, business as unusual will become usual.
