We received many questions from our colleagues in the field as to why JFF needed to attend #ces2024. My response has been simple - CES is the proving ground for innovative technology. Without understanding the utility of tech for us as general consumers how can we understand its application in workforce and learning environments?
Here are my major takeaways:
1. We get a global view how governments, corporations, and start-ups work together to spin their own innovation flywheels and understand how comparative processes and policies help accelerate (or derail) innovation in taking flight. South Korea was incredibly impressive with the depth and breadth of start-ups showcasing their technology solutions. All of this has caused me to really think through blockers to solutions adoption.
2. Accessibility transformed to universal-design: Products are no longer designed with accessibility as a general add-on, whole-human design is being intentionally baked into everything from televisions, refrigerators, to immersive learning environments. This makes me hopeful that we won't be held back in our perceived limitations in aspiring for greatness.
3. Personalization and On-demand. So many solutions that are focused on productivity, health, and mental wellness all in ways that speak directly to you. You can access and share so much information and data about yourself that it makes me wonder how "the machines" will expand or limit the choices that are best fit for us.
So many lessons we took away from our time together in Vegas. I'm grateful to have had the entire #JFFLabs Leadership team with me this go around where we were able to debrief in real time. Please reach out to us if you want to join the conversations. Thanks. (Kristina F. Alex Swartsel Tabitha Manross Taj Ahmad Eldridge)
