“The city of the future is an interdisciplinary knowledge sharing machine.”
Hi, I’m Greg Oates, founder of 2050 City. Thanks for checking out the site.
2050 City advises tourism boards, municipal governments, private enterprise and community organizations on AI best practices and AI-first strategic planning to drive measurable business outcomes. We help leaders create an enabling environment for AI success based on a culture of trust and verification.
During the last decade, I have developed strategic planning frameworks for more than 100 public and private organizations to help them capitalize on emerging opportunities and deliver on their mission.
And since early 2024, I’ve been working with a series of organizations to facilitate internal and stakeholder AI training. A significant part of that training process is based on my work leading AI education and deployment at Matador Network as their Director of AI Advocacy.
My foundation for AI training was forged through a collaboration with the House of Logistics & Mobility in Frankfurt. The think tank states: “The city of the future is an interdisciplinary knowledge sharing machine.” Such a city operates as a highly complex and adaptive ecosystem where information distribution, cultural exchange, commercial activity and human connections are seamlessly integrated and mutually reinforcing.
The exact same strategic vision applies to communities and organizations. How well groups of people can capitalize on their aggregate knowledge base impacts almost every performance indicator from both an economic and cultural lens.
2050 City AI Road Map
The 2050 City AI Road Map provides a proven strategic framework for how organizations can integrate AI processes and platforms effectively across their operations to optimize business outcomes.
High-level priorities:
Leadership Alignment: Ensure everyone in the C-suite uses AI and is fully committed to fostering long-term change management.
Organization Assessment: Evaluate AI capacity and perspectives, identify AI champions, and explore high-impact AI implementation opportunities.
AI Policy: Develop standard operating procedures for responsible AI deployment that encourage AI adoption and protect the organization.
AI Integration: Systematically implement AI-powered automated workflows and agents to enhance productivity, creativity, culture and quality of work.
Performance Measurement: Develop data-driven systems to quantitatively and qualitatively track performance.
2050 City sits at the crossroads of what is and what could be, planting seedlings in the fertile soil of promise and possibility. AI is our wellspring for marrying hard trends (future certainties) and soft trends (future possibilities) to identify actionable opportunities that drive our strategic planning prowess.
We empower communities and organizations to perform as knowledge-sharing environments where information and ideas flow more seamlessly across both physical and digital realms. We seek to partner with forward-thinking leaders who understand the future belongs to those who best navigate how humans use emerging technology to achieve their goals, as has always been the case throughout history.
Welcome to 2050 City.
