AI KEYNOTE TOPIC
AI FOR LEADERSHIP TEAMS
Strategic Clarity on the Disruptive, Transformative Challenges and Opportunities That Really Matter +
Leadership teams require a good foundational understanding of the promise and perils of AI and insight into the opportunities and challenges. They don't need hype.
That’s why strategic clarity on the impact of AI is necessary. Jim Carroll has provided dozens of global leadership teams with highly customized, industry-specific keynotes that give deep insight into the impact of AI on the company and the industry. --
CREATIVITY KEYNOTE
BEING UNIQUE
Simple Strategies for Finding Your Creativity, Accelerating Innovation, and Getting to Your Future Faster! +
Conformity stifles creativity and prevents great ideas from flourishing. Uniqueness is the superpower that lets creativity flow! Embracing uniqueness is crucial for innovation and taking initiative, which is essential for navigating the future.
Your unique perspective and ability to think differently will empower you to create change and shape a better tomorrow. It sets you apart from others and lets you achieve your full innovation potential!
Based on his 2025 book of the same name, Jim shares with teams the key methods by which they can accelerate their creative, innovative capabilities! --
DISRUPTIVE LEADERSHIP
THINK BIG, START SMALL - SCALE FAST
Jim Carroll’s transformative concept for moving forward in the era of accelerating change! +
Customized with detailed research for specific industries, including agriculture, finance, banking, insurance, retail, supply chain, construction, manufacturing and more.
Every industry is being redefined at blinding speed by technology, globalization, the rapid emergence of new competitors, new forms of collaborative global R&D, and countless other challenges! The speed with which these changes occur are now running up against the traditional culture, organizational structure and leadership methodologies that once worked well in the past – but don’t align to today’s fast moving realities. --
FUTURE TRENDS KEYNOTE
Your world & the future of everything
The future demands that you think BIG, be bold, and relentlessly pursue opportunity. +
Companies that do not yet exist will build products not yet conceived, with materials not yet in existence, using methodologies not yet developed – and these will be sold to consumers who do not yet know that these new products and services will become a critical part of their lives!
That’s the perspective that Futurist Jim Carroll brings to his keynote presentation at association events and corporate leadership meetings - and with that theme in mind, will provide you with a customized, concise overview of the trends that matter into tomorrow. --
CEO & CxO Leadership Events +
Many CEO/CxO’s find it necessary to bring their teams together for a corporate offsite event to discuss, strategize, and align to a faster, transformative future.
A fast future demands that organizations pick up the pace when it comes to their strategies, actions, and innovation efforts.
Jim is known for his presentations at these events which involve highly customized insight, extensive pre-event consultations, a global track record, and detailed industry experience! --
Client & Customer-Oriented Events +
Mindshare matters. In a complex and fast competitive landscape, positioning your product or service offerings to your customer or client has become more of a challenge than ever before.
That’s why organizations continue to invest in large-scale or intimate customer-client events. It’s an opportunity to tell your story, position your products, put in perspective your value proposition, and build relationships.
