Business As Unusual

Presented by Jack Uldrich

The world of HR has catapulted into a future of deep change. In this engaging, provocative, and insightful keynote session acclaimed global futurist and best-selling author Jack Uldrich will show how HR is exponentially changing and he explains why so many of the trends that were on the horizon in the past year continue to accelerate.

History reminds us that great challenges produce great change – as well as great opportunities. To take advantage of these extraordinary opportunities, businesses and HR leaders must position themselves now to operate in a world where “business as unusual” is the new “usual.” This session will help HR professionals leverage ten “unconventional” techniques to succeed in today’s–and tomorrow’s–transformational times.
