To innovate, you must think differently. The problem, though, is everyone talks about thinking differently, but no one ever shows you how to do it. In this session, you will learn the tried-and-true TUCBO™ method to develop a disruptive idea. More importantly, you will also learn what it takes to transform the idea into a successful product or service.

Successful, on-going businesses maintain the eternal balance innovation and risk management. However, what if there was a way to fuel more innovation and disruption while also significantly reducing risk?  This is the power of the Metaverse: creating a digital twin of any problem/opportunity and enabling creative thinking through experimentation and risk taking without any real-world impact to the business. Already, we have worked with the C-suite of over 50+ Global Fortune 1000 companies to create a replicable solution where business leaders found more innovative ideas delivering $1B+ in value to their organizations while also improving their creative thinking skills and accelerating their response time to crisis events. Through the convergence of the Metaverse, cognitive science, and AI, companies are unleashing exponential and accelerated growth. Are you ready to start your journey?

What if you could create a safe space (no real-world impacts) that perfectly mimics the triggers and subsequent scenarios around anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues? This is the power of the Metaverse: creating a digital twin of any event and enabling experimentation and risk taking. Working with therapists, psychologists, cognitive scientists, and enterprises, we have created a solution where people with mental health issues can engage their problems in a safe space and develop their coping skills. So, when the times comes, they confront a triggering event in the real-world, they already have the resilience to better manage the situation.

Hybrid intelligence will drive the 4th Industrial Revolution. That is, human abilities that are augmented with machine capabilities will shape the future of work. This is not limited to just tasks and activities but also the squishy skills like communication, teamwork, empathy, and creativity. Already through the combination of cognitive science, AI, and the metaverse, we are advancing people’s capabilities with these squishy skills. Join this session to learn how you can tap into this convergence and advance your own organization through hybrid intelligence.

The 4th Industrial Revolution has begun, and technology is accelerating the rate of change so fast that organizations struggle to keep up. As we look to the future of work, it is tough to maintain a sound talent management strategy. With so much emphasis on technical skills, organizations are overlooking the true importance of critical thinking, creativity, diversity, and interpersonal skills to sustain organizational success. So much of the future of work will require thought exercises, communicating great ideas through storytelling, and imagining a unique experience. This presentation will show why focusing on great technologists is not enough. To truly drive innovation, organizations will need to find people skilled in philosophy and the arts.

As technologists, we often have a laser-like focus on achieving the specific outcomes we need to build. Unfortunately, we often miss the other uses, or misuses, of our technology. Given our ever-increasing speed of change, use of massive amounts of data, and entrusting of AI with decisions, answering the question of “just because we can, should we do it?” is no longer enough. With the great divide between things like Digital Twins and DeepFakes, we all need to become proficient in understanding the ripple effects of our tech and how we weave responsible AI into every facet of our work. Join this session to learn how you can tap into this framework and be a responsible AI practitioner.

As society advances health and medicine, it is not human versus machine. Rather, it is healthcare professional knowledge and experience augmented by artificial intelligence (AI.) This what we call hybrid intelligence, and it holds the power to accelerate all aspects of medicine. Tapping into hybrid intelligence requires embracing a new model and methodology. Already, top medical companies and innovation centers are tapping into this capability but have only scratched the service. In this presentation, learn how to leapfrog the competition and become a leader in the future of health.

All data is biased. As human trainers, we have implicit bias that we often teach our AI/ML systems. However, could AI also be the bias detector? Learn about the research we’ve been doing into this field, and how we’ve been able to apply it… even in something as controversial as the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation case. Join this session to learn the answers on how AI will be our guardian against bias.

This tailored workshop is made for businesses of all industries and sizes looking to innovate either internally or externally. Neil works with teams of all levels (C-level executives, to people on the ground, and mixed groups) through the different stages of Ideation, Transformation, Implementation, and Intrapreneurship Culture Building
