Keynote Address, Ford Motor Company’s Manager of Ford Global Trends and Futuring

Sheryl Connelly, @SherylConnelly

Sheryl_Connelly_FordAs Ford’s global trends and futuring expert, Sheryl Connelly immerses herself in ever-evolving social, cultural, environmental, technological and economic ideas to imagine what consumers might want 20 years into the future.
Connelly collaborates with various business groups at Ford, using consumer trends research to help craft viable business solutions for changing customer needs. She provides a “functionally agnostic” view of the world while offering a different lens through which to view future shifts in the marketplace. Connelly recently created the company’s first consumer trend report – “Looking Forward with Ford” – that outlines 13 trends to watch for in 2013 and beyond. “When I say I’m a futurist, people snicker or laugh and think I’m kidding,” Connelly recently told “The State News.” “They usually reply with ‘Where’s your crystal ball?’ or ‘Read my palm.’ I can’t predict the future, but what I can say is, ‘Here’s something you should pay attention to.’” With Connelly, it’s not just the job she does for Ford Motor Company, but the creativity she brings to the role. Now that creativity has earned her a spot on Fast Company’s 2013 Top 100 Most Creative People in Business list – an annual look at the people and businesses that are redefining creativity in industry, culture and commerce. Connelly has spoken at several TEDX conferences in the United States, and earlier this year gave an attendee talk at TED Global in Edinburgh, Scotland.
