*History before hype*

## A futurist first. An AI strategist because the future arrived.

Jim has spent more than a decade specifically tracking AI and more than three decades studying the collision of technology, science, business models, skills and customer expectations.

*Deep customization*

## Built from your industry outward.

A major keynote begins with the audience, the organization and the strategic issues in the room. The goal is not to sound as though an outside speaker visited the industry. It is to help the audience feel that someone understood their world well enough to show them where it is going.

Listen → Research → Map → Build → Connect → Act

*Global credibility*

## Demanding rooms. Serious clients.

NASA. Disney. The World Bank. Microsoft. Pfizer. Mercedes-Benz. Kiewit. RCMP. KPMG. And hundreds of organizations that needed strategic clarity before the future became obvious.

**30+** years of foresight

Jim’s work spans AI, innovation, technology, science, business-model disruption and industry transformation — with more than 2,000 keynotes delivered to over 2 million people worldwide. AI is the latest acceleration in a much longer body of work about what happens when the future arrives faster than organizations expect.
