SUGGESTED SPEAKING TOPICS
Ron's presentations and webinars help you and your staff to change your business, and learn, by bringing you complex topics in a manner that is clear and to the point.
7 TOP INNOVATIONS THAT WILL DEFINE YOUR FUTURE
Innovation is happening so fast these days it is hard to keep up with, and it's even harder to take the time and think about how these changes and trends will affect your future.
In this webinar, Ron takes a deep dive into seven areas that will affect you and your business in fundamental and sometimes unseen ways.
We'll start by briefly taking a look at the past and how 7 seemingly small innovations went on and changed the world:
• Flash memory
• Text Messaging
• Universal Product Code (UPC)
• Toyota Production System
• Amazon EC2 (the original cloud)
• Netflix
• GPS
Then we'll look ahead at how the technologies and trends of today will radically change the shape of the future:
• Ambient Intelligence, Wearables & The Internet of Things
• Artificial Intelligence & Quantum Computing
• DNA Data Mining & Predictive Medicine
• Digital Currencies & the Blockchain
• Uber, Modular Cars, and Autonomous Driving
• Robotics and The Role Of The Labor Force
• Impact Of Increasing Longevity & Changing Demographics
Mark Twain said "History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme.” Accordingly, this content rich webinar will look at past innovations, examine their disruptive impact, and apply those lessons to inferring how new innovative technologies may alter what the future may hold for us.
INNOVATIONS IN LARGE SCALE TELECOM ANALYTICS
The advent of billions of telecom devices has placed unprecedented demands on database technology, but it has also given telecom providers a flood of data to study and make inferences from. Big data in telecom is overwhelming not only because of its volume but also because of the diversity of data types and the speed at which it must be managed. By discovering associations and understanding patterns and trends within the data, big data analytics has the potential to improve services and lower costs. What are the technologies which best enable this?
In this presentation Ron first takes a deep dive into the various advantages and characteristics of big data analytics in this industry. Second, he examines the architectural framework of big data analytics such as data prep and clustering. Third, data mining analytics application development is explored, focusing for instance on tech such as Hadoop along with machine learning for marketing and customer profiling, fraud detection, and isolating network faults. Fourth, Ron provides case studies of big data analytics in telecom and how it has reduced human based analysis and led to the ability to extract, identify, and make sense of large volumes of data. Which new technologies are innovative, and which are dis-innovative?
Future Money: Virtual Currencies & Payment Systems
Money is a medium of exchange. The exchange is still taking place but the “mediums” are rapidly changing. From stored value cards, to mobile device payments systems, the very nature of money is changing. The “QQ’” a virtual currency in China, is so popular it is having an effect on the money supply. A $195 million dollar bank run occurred inside a video game. Google, Paypal, and Amazon want to be your wallet. Ron examines these new forms of “Future money” and assesses their impact on our financial system.
Boxed In: Competitive Threats to Financial Services Firms
From Wal-Mart to Google, Paypal to Amazon, more and more businesses are leveraging information technology and distribution to enter the retail financial services industry.Assets are the name of the game in financial services, and there is increased pressure as financial service firms, "non-bank" banks, and now retailers are leveraging their existing distribution "footprints" to grab more of the pie.
For example, if just 5% of the people who walk into one of Wal-Mart's 4000 stores in one week opened a $3000 deposit account in a "Wal-Mart Bank," the company would raise $22 billion that week alone. Wal-Mart withdrew their ILC application, but GMAC, Merrill Lynch, and Target all have ILCs. The assets of all ILCs chartered in Utah are 12 times the assets of all Utah banks, S&L's and credit unions combined.
Meanwhile, Paypal and Google have developed payment systems that do a complete end-around the traditional banking system. All the while hedge funds use their huge, unregulated pools of capital to draw assets away from banking.
