New York, NY (PRWEB) November 06, 2014

Dj vu, the French word meaning already seen, is better known as the phenomenon of having the strong sensation that a current event has been experienced in the past. The comedian George Carlin, however, defined vuja de as the strange feeling that, somehow, this has never happened before. In his entertaining, energetic and educational keynote presentation, renowned global futurist Jack Uldrich will use CASs centennial celebrationand the past 100 years of historyto guide CAS members into the future. Paradoxically, he will then use history to explain why yesterday and yesteryear wont be a reliable guide to tomorrow. Uldrich will also present a concurrent session called How to Think Like a Futurist.

"No one can predict the future," says Uldrich, "but I do try to help my audiences prepare for it." Jack Uldrich is a leading futurist, author, and speaker who helps organizations gain the critical foresight they need to create a successful future. His work is based on the transformational principles of unlearning or freeing yourself from obsolete knowledge and assumptions as a strategy to survive and thrive in an era of unparalleled change.

Uldrich goes on to say, "One of the key components of success is embracing paradox: learning to unlearn, and thinking about the unthinkable. If I can get people to take more time out to think and reflect, I consider that a good day's work. We need to start opening our minds to the exponential technological changes that are taking place, and we need to change the way we think about them if were going to jump the curve."

In addition to discussing future trends and unlearning Uldrich also speaks on change management. One of the many techniques Uldrich shares with his clients is the concept of holding 'pre-mortems' on a regular basis. "Taking the time to imagine what business will look like before a company dies is a powerful way to circumvent the mistakes that may lead to it's demise," says Uldrich. "Or better yet, reflect that company is already gone and ask the hard questions--what trends were harmful to the company? What didn't we see coming? By asking tough questions like these, serious pitfalls may be avoided and companies may just discover some fascinating areas to innovate into. I encourage clients to do this once a year. Because if youre not thinking about the future of your company, who exactly is?

Uldrich travels the world painting vivid pictures of what the world may look like in just a few short years for clients like ABB, Emerson, Cargill, and IBM. He provides an in-depth exploration of how the Internet of Things, "Big Data, social media, robotics, biotechnology, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, renewable energy and collaborative consumption will change everyday life for all of us in the very near future and he enjoys every minute of it.

Dj vu and Vuja De: Futurist Jack Uldrich Takes a Backwards Stroll into Tomorrow

Austin, TX (PRWEB) November 06, 2014

CLEAResult's motto is: "We change the way people use energy." Futurist Jack Uldrich, who will be keynoting CLEAResult's 2014 Energy Summit likes to change the way people think about the future of energy. CLEAResult helps utilities, businesses and individuals make the wise use of energy a way of life. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, with offices in more than 40 cities in the U.S. and Canada, CLEAResult designs, markets and implements energy programs around the globe. Their experienced energy experts tailor strategies to each clients specific needs and circumstances. Likewise, Jack Uldrich will be addressing CLEAResult's need to address future energy concerns and how to do that in an innovative and thoughtful manner.

Uldrich will address energy industry experts at the 2014 Energy Summit and begin by asking them, "How does a business leader prepare for a constantly changing future?" Uldrich says, "The answer can be found in a simple acronym: AHA. It stands for: Awareness, Humility and Action." He will also encourage his CLEAResult audience members to, Step away from the daily grind to read, think, reflect, he says. Your world is constantly shifting, and if you dont pick up on these subtle changes, youre locked up. "In fact," says Uldrich," I encourage everyone take an annual 'Think Week' for themselves. The payoff will in all likelihood be much greater than the pay check one misses out on."

Having recently addressed the Emerson Exchange, the Western Energy Institute, and Idaho Tech Council, Uldrich advises all of his energy and utilities clients to, Forget about the old ideology of 'curiosity killing the cat.' We need to get curious, and give up on finding black and white answers to the energy crisis we are facing. Ingenuity stops because we think we know the answers.

Jack Uldrich has addressed dozens of energy-related associations, including delivering customized keynote presentations to the Southern California Gas Company, Northwestern Energy, the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, the Minnesota Rural Electric Cooperative, the American Public Power Association, the Northeast Public Power Association, the Missouri River Energy Service, the Sacramento Municipal Utility District, Wisconsin Public Power, and dozens more. He has also addressed a number of major, non-utility-related corporations discussing future trends, change management and unlearning, including ABB, The Sportfishing Association of America, the Million Dollar Round Table, Cisco, IBM, WiPro, PepsiCo, United Healthcare, Boston Scientific and General Electric.
