Linda Bernardi

Tagline: Digital Disruption

Keynote Topics

Futureproof YOUR Business by Embracing Disruptive Technologies

Linda takes a deep-dive into the emergence of today’s consumer-driven “Know-Me” economy and the trends surrounding Artificial Intelligence (AI), The Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, and crypto technologies.

She raises her audience’s comfort level with digital disruption and sparks optimism in the idea of future proofing your business. Her focus is to engage you in a positive way with these transformational technologies.

As author of the Amazon best-seller, The Inversion Factor: How to Thrive in the IoT Economy, Linda shares with audiences how to abandon the ‘product-first’ model and capitalize on a ‘customer-need’ model, as Netflix and many others have done.

Leveraging AI, IoT, and Big Data in the Financial Sector

The financial industry is experiencing game-changing disruption from AI and IoT, as well as Big Data and predictive analytics. Linda Bernardi illustrates how traditional financial models are being pushed aside in today’s consumer-driven “Know Me” economy by technologies like blockchain and cryptocurrency.

She discusses how digital disruption is literally overhauling the mobile consumer’s banking expectations.

A serial high-tech entrepreneur and best-selling serial author on these topics, Linda brings financial audiences a powerful message of futureproofing that applies to financial institutions, asset management associations, reinsurance, and the mortgage industry. 

The healthcare industry is traditionally resistant to technological change and disruptions. However, AI, blockchain, and the resulting technological shifts are turning healthcare on its head.

From intelligent robotics, personalized medicine, and compliance monitoring to immersion technology, predictive monitoring, and IoT-enabled services, Linda Bernardi discusses inversion technologies like blockchain and AI and their impact on traditional models of research, patient data, clinical trials, and drug approval.

While hospitals aim for higher revenues, patients require more transparency. Patient portals are one response, but are portals enough? Linda says the hospital landscape of the near future must align with today’s consumer-driven “Know Me” economy. 

Why Disruption and Innovation is a Must, Not an Option!

Disruption is the key ingredient for innovation. Without disruption there is no innovation. Innovation is no longer an option. Across the board, all industries, are faced with immediate and meaningful innovation requirements, in order to exceed the expectations of their clients, to be ahead of competition and in order to thrive.

In this keynote, Linda will explore the essential ingredients of disruption, blockers and success factors, key technologies to consider and how to meaningfully invert one’s business: to build products and service not only meet client needs (across industries) but to enhance their experiences.

Linda will explore what key obstacles, tactics for impactful disruption and how to lead in the INVERSION game. She will be referencing my two books, first one ProVoke (regarding Disruption) and second book The Inversion Factor (regarding Inversion) and decades of experience and current ongoing projects, directly dealing with disruption.
