Financial Executives International (FEI) welcomed acclaimed global futurist and best-selling author Jack Uldrich as the keynote speaker at its industry gathering yesterday, April 9, 2025.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN, April 11, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ — Uldrich’s presentation, “How to Think like a Futurist,” equipped FEI members and attendees with innovative approaches to navigate tomorrow’s business landscape.

Drawing on his extensive experience addressing premier financial organizations, including Wells Fargo, FCC Services, CICB Atlantic Trust, TD Bank, Stockbridge Capital Group, SunTrust Bank, Catalyst Corporate Federal Credit Union, and Invesco, Uldrich challenged FEI members to develop forward-thinking mindsets essential in today’s rapidly evolving financial sector.

“The future can only be answered with questions,” said Uldrich, whose presentation explored the power of meditation, the importance of imagination, and how to use questions to probe the future. Attendees gained insights into the importance of unlearning, using history as a framework to predict and prepare for future trends, and distinguishing between exponential and linear change. Uldrich emphasized the critical need for executives to carve out time for deeper thinking and provided practical methods to enhance cognitive approaches to future challenges. He also shared a number of counter-intuitive ideas, such as why developing “strategic inefficiency” may be the key to long-term survivability.

Uldrich, recognized for his ability to present complex information entertainingly and understandably, has delivered similar insights to organizations including CoBank, Thrivent, Deltec Bank & Trust Limited, The Siegfried Group, Vistage, Wings Financial Credit Union, North American Banking Company, and The Doolin Group. His presentation provided attendees with practical frameworks to anticipate industry shifts and how to use questions to transform uncertainty into strategic advantage.

The event took place at The Open Eye Theater in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
