GENERAL APPROACH
Scott is unusually accurate at painting pictures as to how digital evolution will unfold, and how it will impact specific industries. As a co-founder of Future Point of View, a digital strategy advisory firm, he spends many hours each work working with C-suite executives on digital, and now AI strategies. He is unusually good at translating complicated concepts for general audiences and helping them understand how new technology waves can be maximized in their organizations or industries.
AI has exploded on the scene as powerful tool, and important topic of discussion at conferences and events. Scott has an unusual approach of working with meeting planners to design his delivery of ideas concerning what he refers to as Synthetic Intelligence. The reason is this topic is quite broad and there are many facets to cover. Depending on the sophistication level of the audience, they might just want an update on the latest AI news. Or, they might want to better understand AI Philosophy and where it is headed over the next five years. Depending on the participants, they might want to understand how to build a winning AI strategy. For this reason, Scott takes a “blank canvas” approach to design the exact keynote or workshop for his clients.
The four major ingredients of a powerful synthetic intelligence talk today are the following. These can be done as stand-alone topics or can be combined into a recipe that best serves the audience.

His seamless integration of advanced technology not only enhanced the experience but also served as a testament to his expertise in the field.

Scott didn’t just stop at theoretical discussions; he provided practical, immediate actions that businesses could implement to leverage AI effectively. His suggestions were tailored and highly relevant, offering clear pathways for companies to innovate and thrive in the digital age.

“Scott was the keynote speaker to a group of small business owners and executives at our executive retreat. His time slot was not ideal, after an afternoon of golf, cocktails and dinner! He did a superb job of modifying his message to create interest, captivate their imagination while educating our group on the trends in social technology. As a result of this event, we engaged Scott for a Social Technology Boot Camp that provided attendees with a ‘deep-dive’ into his world. Both events exceeded our expectation and were right on target.

We will likely engage Scott again in the future!” –Mid-States Distributing Company, Inc.

“I introduced Scott and facilitated the questions…let me say he was phenomenal! After talking with many people after the presentation, all said they are going to start exploring new social technologies to at least try to catch up with the modern times… Scott exceeded my expectations. One of the key points I took away from the message was the idea of social relevancy and that we must work on our personal web presence if we are to be taken seriously as a professional. The other idea that intrigued me was instead of individual authors, we are moving towards aggregators, using the crowd sourcing concept to write books. For anyone who needs to understand the trends in Social Technologies, you must see Scott Klososky – his program has opened my eyes to the importance of building a web presence and to consciously work on my personal social relevancy.” –Society of Insurance Trainers & Educators

You could feel and see and hear the audience involvement due to the unique interactive presentation techniques he used. He had a crowd of people around him for 30 minutes after his speech was over. And I overheard dozens of people talking about what actions they were going to take because of having their eyes opened by Scott.” —Service Management Group

His easy going presentation style and logical way of unfolding his concepts combined to create a fascinating experience.” –Professional Administrative Co-Employers (PACE)
“Scott’s presentations far exceeded our objectives–and our expectations were high! The audience absolutely loved his sessions, as evidenced by the more than 150 requests Scott has received for his “Developing Gen Y Members for Life: Technology Required” session with his two children. That session, in particular, was astounding and very eye opening for our customers. I will send Scott his evaluation remarks and scores as soon as they are compiled which should be in a few weeks. I can’t imagine anything Scott could have done to improve on his sessions! As word spreads about Scott, his endeavors and his talent, I’m sure he’ll have many credit union groups seeking him out.” —CUNA Mutual Group
