Jim Carroll will provide you with the detailed, extensively researched, highly customized disruptive trends and innovation insight that you need. He is known globally for his ability to provide concise, detailed insight for offsite CEO or CxO leadership events, and has been doing this for close to 30 years. The world’s top speakers bureaus – the same folks who book Barak Obama, Richard Branson, and Malcolm Gladwell – have booked him into hundreds of such events through the years, having full confidence in him as their ‘go-to guy’ for highly specialized topic requests.
Organizations like NASA, Disney, Volvo, PGA of America, World Bank, and Pfizer made the investment to have Jim open a critical internal leadership or key customer/client event.

- Disney, faced with an onslaught of disruptive business model change, had him deliver a keynote on key concepts related to leading-edge innovation and creativity
His insight is based on proven research and facts.
- his sophisticated trends tracking and research system regularly scans dozens of rapidly emerging technologies including artificial intelligence, digital twin technology, advanced genomics, material science, and more than 100+ other topics, following the impact across healthcare, consumer goods, agriculture, and dozens of other industries and sub-industries
- he shares this insight through sophisticated trends research reports that cover near-term (1 to 6 months), medium (6-24 months), and long-term trends (> 2 years), and weaves the insight into his stage presentations, combined with up to the minute deep research performed undertaken for every customized keynote
The fact is experience and a proven track record matter.

- Jim conducts extensive, in-depth research using sophisticated online research tools that lead him to research papers, industry reports, news media, and more
- most keynotes and leadership meetings involve extensively customized research preparation

- most of his events have been for senior executive leadership teams at corporate offsite retreats
- many of the topics covered have been related to fast-emerging disruptive trends that require immediate team coordination
- oh, and he’s a geek. He’s been online since 1982 and wrote 34 books about the Internet in the ’90s. He runs his own Linux servers, is deeply involved in IoT technology, and writes code and hacks things. So he doesn’t just understand stuff at a leadership and strategy level – he gets it at a deep technological level.
