Jack Shaw integrates his executive experience in industry, technology, and consulting to speak on Technology Enabled Innovation, Change Management, and Transformational Leadership.
Starting over three decades ago, even before the birth of e-commerce, and through the advent of blockchain in the early Millennium era, Jack took an early and enduring interest in understanding how new technologies create disruptive change while enabling creative innovation in everyday processes, corporate strategies, and even fundamental business models as well as how organizations must adjust and adapt to those impacts.
His decades of experience designing, developing, and implementing emerging technologies have given him a deep understanding of how these evolve and are adopted. This experience enables him to speak with unique perspective on such current leading-edge technologies as Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, 5G, and the Internet of Things and how, individually and collectively, they will impact business and society.
Jack has delivered over 1,000 keynote presentations and executive forums in 26 countries and every state across the U.S. He is a Yale University graduate, and he holds a Kellogg MBA degree specializing in Finance and Marketing.
BLOCKCHAIN IN THE ENTERPRISE
It’s still a common misconception that Blockchain technology is all about cryptocurrencies and multimillion dollar Non-Fungible Token (NFT) artworks. And while these applications do garner the headlines, the real action is behind the scenes – where enterprises large and small are leveraging Blockchain technology to reimagine how they do business. Just as the Internet forced enterprises to transform their systems and processes a quarter-century ago, now Blockchain is driving an analogous transformation. Only this time it will go even deeper and happen much faster.
In industries from manufacturing and distribution to retail and consumer goods, from healthcare and pharmaceuticals to transportation and logistics, and from government agencies to not-for-profits, leading edge organizations have already implemented production Blockchain-based systems that have allowed them to reimagine missioncritical business processes. The Blockchain applications already being used include everything from supply chain transparency to sourcing and provenance of food and luxury items such as diamonds, artworks, and wines to insurance claims management and educational credentialing.
In this presentation, Jack Shaw will show how Blockchain is already being used in your industry. And he’ll show you how your organization can visualize and plan for the impacts Blockchain and the changes it’s helping to create will have on your business.
BITCOIN, CRYPTOCURRENCY, & DeFI
New, game-changing technologies used to come along about once a decade. Now they come in bunches! Currently, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Blockchain, and Cryptocurrencies are each driving accelerated rates of change for payments processors and Financial Services organizations. Combined, their synergies are creating exponential change. The results include real-time payments, anticipatory fraud prevention, and enhanced credit and collections.
Blockchain technology has enabled digital currencies, such as Bitcoin, for over a decade now; but with nations now starting to officially adopt CBDC’s (Central Bank Digital Currencies ‒ digital versions of their traditional fiat currencies), digital, real time payments (RTP) are rapidly moving into the mainstream. And it’s not just payments.
Blockchain-powered DeFi (Decentralized Finance) promises to disrupt everything financial from borrowing and lending to securities trading to fraud prevention.
Biometrics and Blockchain are already being used to create unhackable, immutable self-sovereign, or personally managed, records of identity. This allows data to be uniquely linked to a single individual. Rapidly evolving AI technologies can now identify the precursors of fraud enabling automated systems to proactively prevent it
rather than simply identify it after the fact.
In this presentation, Jack Shaw will show how your organization can visualize and plan for the impacts of these changes and deliver economic benefits to customers and other stakeholders.
THE METAVERSE: WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR ME AND MY ORGANIZATION?
New, game-changing technologies used to come along about once a decade. Now they come in bunches! Currently, Extended Reality (XR: integrating Virtual Reality, VR, and Augmented Reality, AR), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Blockchain-enabled artifacts such as NFT’s and Distributed Autonomous Organizations (DAO’s), each are already having profound impacts. Combined, their synergies are creating the exponential change agent many refer to as the Metaverse. A generation ago few could see the potential long-term effects of the Internet. But leading edge technology futurists like Jack Shaw were remarkably prescient in describing how the Internet would change business, commerce, and society.
Similarly, today, no one can say exactly how the Metaverse will manifest. Technology firms such as Google, Microsoft, and Amazon are already planning to deliver Metaverse capabilities; and Facebook’s recent name change to Meta has received huge publicity. But leading companies who are not primarily technology solutions
providers, such as Walmart, are also working on plans to do business in the Metaverse. As with the Internet and eCommerce, it will likely take 10 – 15 years for the Metaverse vision to be fully fleshed out. But it will almost certainly have as much effect on retailing, manufacturing, distribution, healthcare, and society in general as the Internet has. And we learned during the emergence of the Internet that those who proactively plan for the impact of emerging technologies inevitably gain tremendous
strategic and competitive advantages over those who sit back to “wait and see.”
In this presentation, Jack Shaw will explain how Extended Reality, Blockchain, and AI will combine to enable the Metaverse. And he’ll show how people and organizations can visualize, plan for, and execute their Metaverse strategies.
