Following a series of talks across the country in Hollywood, Houston, Atlanta, and Chicago trend expert and global futurist Jack Uldrich will finish out his tour of ABB/Thomas & Betts' New Product Launches of the Emax 2 in New York City.

Jack Uldrich has made it his personal goal to help organizations like ABB/Thomas & Betts succeed tomorrow by unlearning today. "Technological capabilities are skyrocketing everywhere, and we need to change the way we think about them if were going to jump that curve," says Uldrich. His topic for the final launch of the Emax 2, the latest air circuit-breaker on the market will be: "Breakthrough: Ten Technological Trends Transforming Tomorrow."

In his article on Uldrich, "Start Thinking Like a Futurist," Aaron Hand of Automation Times says, "Wearable technology. 3D manufacturing. Nanotechnology. Robotics. Sensors. Genomics. Computers. Big Data. Renewables. Collaborative consumption. Each one of these is a technology to be reckoned with on its own, full of promise for continued advances. They are all technologies whose capabilities are doubling every 10-24 months...Uldrich is a futurist who spends time thinking about such things. And he has a suggestion: Spend time thinking about such things."

Uldrich makes a living doing just that and sharing his insights with businesses like ABB/Thomas & Betts, United Healthcare, Verizon Wireless, The Western Energy Institute among hundreds of others. He is passionate about inciting people to think about the future in a way that will empower them today. Both in his speaking and his writing Uldrich paints vivid pictures of what the world may look like in just a few short years.

Utilities Trend Expert Jack Uldrich Helps ABB/Thomas & Betts Prepare for the Future

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) October 29, 2014

The Lone Star State and the North Star State will join forces this Thursday when Minneapolis, MN-based futurist and trend expert Jack Uldrich keynotes TRUNO's 2014 Client Conference in Lubbock, TX. TRUNO, a national leader in integrated technology solutions focused solely on the retail industry recently rebranded this past August. Their new name is derived from the phrase "True North" and is meant to serve as a reminder that True North is constant.

TRUNO's mission never changes. And neither does Jack Uldrich's--as a futurist Uldrich strives to keep his clients on the move with the latest technological trends and keep them on task as how to adapt those changes through the concept of unlearning.

"Taking care of our customers is at the core of everything we do," says Brad Ralston, CEO of TRUNO. TRUNO delivers retailers secure, stable and integrated technology solutions enabling them to navigate through an environment of ever-changing regulation, competition and technology, and by utilizing a futurist like Uldrich, who travels the world speaking on cutting edge trends and how to embrace them, they are making good on their promises.

As the author of 11 best-selling books, including "The Next Big Thing is Really Small," and "Foresight 20/20." Uldrich makes a daily practice of researching trends and writing and speaking on them to a host of industries. He is a frequent guest on national media and regularly appears on the Science Channel's new television program, "FutureScape."

As a futurist Jack Uldrich doesn't try to predict the future he helps clients like TRUNO, ABB/Thomas & Betts, Verizon Wireless, CISCO, Cargill, Wells Fargo and countless others, prepare for it.

He speaks on topics like "Unlearning," "How the Internet Will Open a Future of Opportunities," and "The Big AHA." Uldrich says, "In the near future, the greatest change will be the accelerating rate of change itself." And he asks questions such as, "How will your business change? More importantly, how will you and your organization need to change?" Getting his clients to think about these things in greater depth is just the tip of the iceberg with his work.

His pursuit is focused and clear and his audiences are delighted with the results. "I have been doing professional development for 25 years and Jack is absolutely one of the top speakers I have observed. He uses humor, facts and creativity to get his message across. This was two years ago and many of our people still reference his talk," says Mike Smoczyk, of Kraus Anderson.

TRUNO is anticipating similar results and Uldrich looks forward to the opportunity to provide key insights into helping them maintain their goal of "promising to always press on and guide their clients towards security, stability, and integrated solutions when it comes to Retail Technology."
