As the top keynote speaker video on YouTube, Jeremy has already inspired 12 million people with his compelling insights and strategies for innovation and change.

Most people do realize how predictable the next 10 years are going to be, based on repeating patterns and the fact we have gone through a pandemic 19 times before. There are several long term frameworks that illustrate highly predictive patterns of what happens next, impacting consumer needs, the workplace, the generations, global conflict and the competitive environment.

This was Jeremy’s most popular innovation keynote video during the pandemic, and since then, many of the predictions have become shocking true, suggesting there’s even more predictive power in what lies ahead.

The keynote overlays 3 additional long-term frameworks, including generational theory, the rise and fall of nations, and the AI-accelerated pace of change, to prove to you what comes next. This is Jeremy’s most-popular keynote in the investment industry.

CAPTURE NEW BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES AND STAY AHEAD OF THE PACK

After finding success, many companies fall into a pattern of dire complacency. Their decision-makers forget about adapting and making change happen.

Enthralled with their achievements, they’re afraid to fail at something new—so they don’t even try. Once-thriving corporate cultures can quickly wilt, and the results can be deadly. Just ask Kodak, Blackberry, Blockbuster, or Smith Corona, whose leaders didn’t adapt at crucial moments of transformation.

Today, no one within a company can afford to stagnate. Each employee needs to keep pushing forward. In this powerful talk, Jeremy Gutsche shows you how to awaken, hunt, and capture those immense opportunities that others might too easily dismiss.

And, he explains how to actually make these ideas happen. Drawing on 200 interviews with CEOs, Trend hunter’s study of 250,000 innovations from a virtual focus group of 100,000,000 people, new case studies of a variety of brands, and even his family’s personal journey of entrepreneurial daring, Gutsche challenges audiences to define their core values, and guides them toward a new outlook on innovation, disruption, and adaptation.

Tactics for Disruptive Thinking and Action – Immerse yourself in a culture of high performance and change.

Jeremy’s keynote offers actionable strategies to create and foster a culture that not only embraces change but actively seeks it.

Empower your team to drive innovation and make change actually happen.

In an increasingly jaded market, how can you boost sales? How can you drive customer engagement? Having the best product isn’t enough any more.

You need to spark the kinds of conversations that lead to conversion. You need to make a deeper connection that speaks to both the needs your customers are currently facing, and the changes coming down the pike.

In this talk Jeremy Gutsche takes you through the hard data on the kinds of engagement that lead to sales. Drawing on case studies with millions of data points, Gutsche illustrates how chaos creates opportunity in sales, how to infectiously message your idea, how to make messages pop through the clutter, and—ultimately—how to innovate the sales process and build a culture of customer obsession.

Discover the art of creating impactful messages that stick, sell, and spread like wildfire. Jeremy’s marketing keynote, grounded in Trend Hunter’s study of 500,000 articles and big data from 3.5 billion pageviews.

This keynote is meant to make you a more powerful communicator inside your organization and beyond, with a strategic blueprint for crafting persuasive messages.
