The AI Revolution with Jim Harris 2025

The AI Revolution:

The AI Revolution:
The Most Transformative Tech of Our Time Creating Trillions of Value
AI is transforming business, government and society as a whole

• We're seeing AI applications with 10X to 10,000X increases in productivity!
• AI will add up to $4.4 Trillion of economic value every year by 2030
• Many aspects of business, associations, government and society are being enhanced by this transformative technology.

This fast-paced, dynamic session will focus on proven, practical strategies, tactics, and actionable tools. It will highlight dozens of AI and GenAI apps and case studies focused on improving customer satisfaction, dramatically shortening cycle times, increasing sales and cutting costs. It will highlight benefits for many different functions within an organization: sales, marketing, customer service and finance.

In the US there are nearly 2 million job openings in health care alone. AI can save $386 billion a year if fully implemented in health care alone and while addressing the staff shortage.

Leading in Turbulent Times:

Leading in Turbulent Times:
VUCA: Building Agility & Resilience
Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity (VUCA) — is the defining reality of modern business. For today's executives, mastering VUCA is essential to navigating the turbulence and turning uncertainty into opportunity.

The Age of Accelerated Change

We are witnessing the fastest, most disruptive period in corporate history. Markets shift overnight. Technologies leapfrog decades. Consumer behaviors evolve in real time. The scale and speed of change are without precedent:

• On April 3-4, 2025, US markets lost $6.6 trillion in value following President Trump's announcement of tariffs on 90 countries. Five days later, after the decision was paused, markets rebounded by $5.4 trillion — a staggering single-day recovery.

• On January 27, 2025, China's DeepSeek unveiled its R-1 AI model, instantly disrupting global tech. U.S. high-tech firms lost $1 trillion in a single day. NVIDIA alone dropped $600 billion, the largest single-day market cap loss in US history.

• It took the airline industry 68 years to reach 50 million users. It took Pokémon Go just 19 days.

These events aren't anomalies — they're signals of a world in permanent flux. Leadership strategies must evolve accordingly.

Thriving in the Era of Disruptive Inn...

Thriving in the Era of Disruptive Innovation
Technology is changing faster than ever before. How can leaders keep up and keep their organizations relevant? In this thought-provoking talk Jim discusses disruptive innovation and why being on the forefront of technology is only the beginning of it. Netflix changed the way people watch TV. Uber changed the way people get around. Amazon changed the way people buy things. Jim looks at the forces that are disrupting companies and industries and presents strategies for preventing it.

Collaboration & Engagement

Collaboration & Engagement
Who is in charge of Wikipedia? No one. And yet more than 100 million of hours of labor have been invested by volunteers in creating the content. Most people believe that companies use less than 50% of the skills and motivation of employees. This is the challenge for organizations: unleashing the full potential of people. With millions of baby boomers retiring from the workforce over the next decade, new ways of engaging employees in collaborating will be essential for companies. How can organizations unleash more talent, creativity and innovation in their organization?

Creativity
Most organizations need to innovate — but no one wants to change! It's the paradox of our time. A staggering 88% of CEOs say that innovation is essential to growth and profitability, but only 33% are happy with the results that they're getting. But innovation doesn't just happen on its own. Jim has worked with Fortune 500 companies worldwide, India's top 200 CIOs and the UK Cabinet Office's top management program teaching innovation, creativity change, and why innovation is essential to for 21st-century organizations.

How disruptive innovation is changing the not-for-profit world
World and technology is changing faster than ever before. How can, not for profit leaders keep up and keep their organizations relevant? For instance, the smartphone is eating the world. If your organization is not optimized for the mobile web — you are losing donors, volunteers and opportunities. An example is the ALS bucket challenge — putting time into to figuring out an interesting, novel way to engage people on social media went viral and raised millions of dollars. Not for profit leaders need to reach millennials as the next donor generation and they don't do email, they don't answer the phone. You need to use social media or text them to engage them. Join Jim Harris, world renowned author, consultant and speaker and learn to leverage innovation for your not-for-profit and stay ahead of industry disruptors to keep your organization thriving.
