JP's Talks
Brains and Bytes. Ensuring Human Participation/Success in an automated Workforce of the Future.
Every one of us has given some thought to what the future will hold for our jobs. Besides traditional factors like the economic situation and the potential for downsizing and outsourcing of jobs, the meteroric rise of AI and Gen-AI are creating additional worries for workers across industries.
Will we all have a job in an AI-driven future of work? This inspiring presentation will help attendees identify the distinctly human characteristics that will keep us all working, and how to use those characteristics in ways that will enable us to establish productive partnerships with AI
Decision Day – A New Path to Decision Making Success
Leaders are faced with decisions every day. Some are small ones that could be delegated to more junior team members. Others are major ones that could impact the future of the entire organization. Too often leaders and organizations fail to implement programs and processes to guide themselves to making better decisions. Sometimes they kick the can down the road to let the next generation of leaders deal with the problem.
Sometimes leaders make decisions based on too little due diligence. Sometimes leaders overly rely on insight from a core group of advisors, failing to elicit new ideas.
In this informative talk for business decision makers, JP shares lessons from a potentially life altering health issue that was the impetus for his designing a process to help leaders have more confidence in their own decision making
The Spectrum of Disruption
Disruptions to your industry can emerge from existing competitors, new entrants, or from new technologies that threaten to make your product or service obsolete. But identifying which disruptions are truly threats is essential. Mislabeling potentially enabling disruptions as threats has resulted in companies throwing millions of dollars into misguided strategies.
In this eye-opening talk, JP offers a process on how to identify emerging disruptions and a roadmap for determining how – positively or negatively – these disruptions could impact your business and industry.
