Rocky Ozaki

From exponential technologies such as AI and quantum computing, to a continually evolving
notion of a modern employee experience and the hyper-personalization of your customer’s expectations, it’s no longer about what’s to come. The future has already arrived.

Rocky begins this keynote with thought provoking questions that challenge the audience to determine their corporate archetype. Are you a first mover, fast follower, impeded or in denial? Where you stand will determine how ready you are for the exponential changes that are already happening in your business and industry today. Rocky will then share the leading operational frameworks and mindsets of the most modern companies around the world before ending with practical actions you can begin implementing the very next day.

You know your customer and team member experiences are constantly evolving, that AI is upon us, and that change is the only constant going forward. In other words, the future is NoW. The question is, are you ready?

In this keynote presentation, Rocky will first inspire you with the incredible AI use-cases already transforming companies and industries around the world. He’ll share trends, the potential positives and negatives of the technology, and demystify the must-know terms to keep you in the know.

Rocky will then compel you to why AI is inevitable for both your business and personal lives before shifting to specific ways every person and company should already be co-existing with the technology today. Rocky will bring a human-centered approach to your AI journey and tailors every keynote to the audience and sector he speaks to.

If you are still dismissive of the potential of AI, are just beginning your AI Adoption journey, or wish to inspire your audience to this once in a lifetime, exponential technology, look no further!

Using ChatGPT, Co-Pilot or Claude is an absolutely necessary step in AI Adoption, but most are not maximizing the value of GenAI, or effectively procuring from the seemingly never ending options of off-the-shelf AI solutions. It’s also only a matter of time before Agentic AI and building bespoke in-house AI solutions will become the norm – but very few are ready.

Anchored on data and insights from training hundreds of “AI Champions” from across North America, Rocky will share the most common pitfalls organizations face in adopting AI. These include: poor organizational “AI readiness”; leadership focusing on shiny object AI solutions versus starting with “problems to solve”; and lacking a framework to measure ROI on AI investments. You’ll also learn about the energy and environmental impacts of AI, the global AI race, and how both of these macro issues are tied to how organizations adopt AI.

So whether you’re already on the AI journey and something doesn’t feel right, you are not realizing the impact you hoped for, or you’re unsure how to truly adopt AI in a responsible, scalable and value-adding way, this keynote is precisely what you need!
