Book Jack Shaw through The Keynote Curators

Biography

Jack Shaw is an AI Transformation Advisor, keynote speaker, and author who helps executives make the AI decisions that actually move the needle: where to apply Tactical AI now, which choices belong at the board level, and how Strategic AI reshapes competitive position over the next three to five years. Drawing on more than four decades in AI and enterprise technology, Jack has delivered more than 1,000 keynote presentations across 26 countries for organizations including IBM, Coca-Cola, Mercedes-Benz, GE, Siemens, Bosch, Caterpillar, Rockwell Automation, Oracle, and 3M.

Jack’s proprietary Dual Path framework gives leaders a decision structure they can act on immediately: Tactical AI drives measurable productivity wins within twelve months, while Strategic AI drives the operating-model transformation that changes how an organization competes. Organizations must use the Dual Path Tactical AI and Strategic AI planning process to transform, quickly and effectively, into Autonomic Enterprises™ capable of competing in the global Autonomic Economy™ now emerging. In an Autonomic Enterprise, AI handles the routine sensing, routing, and response of daily operations at machine speed, while human judgment is reserved for non-delegable decisions.

Jack is the author of Manufacturing’s AI Imperative: An Executive Mandate, the first volume in The AI Imperative Series, a growing library of industry-specific guides that apply the Dual Path framework to the AI decisions facing today’s C-suite. His keynotes and executive briefings speak directly to the questions boards are asking now: how to escape pilot purgatory, how to close the decision latency that slows AI-driven organizations down, and how to build the compounding advantage that separates AI leaders from AI laggards.

Jack holds a degree from Yale University and an MBA from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. He speaks and advises internationally on executive AI strategy, AI governance, and workforce transformation.
