How do some companies do it? Jim Collins identifies seven companies that beat their industry index by 10 times during unstable periods. Find out how some companies don’t merely react; they create. How they don’t merely survive; they prevail. John Kao Chairman, Institute for Large Scale Innovation Chair of the World Economic Forum’s Global Advisory Council on Innovation Dubbed “Mr. Creativity” by The Economist, John calls himself an innovation activist.  He is chairman of the Institute for Large Scale Innovation, whose i20 group is an association of 30 national ‘Chief Innovation Officers.’  John coined the term “large scale innovation” to refer to innovation as a societal agenda.  He has advised numerous nations and regions on innovation strategy and execution, including Finland, Singapore, the City of San Francisco, Abu Dhabi and elements of the US government as well as the European Union innovation policy team. Heidi Grant Halvorson Associate Director, Motivation Science Center Columbia University Business School We all have goals we fail to reach, but as Dr. Heidi Grant Halvorson has found, most of us have no idea why we fail to reach them. In her keynote, she shows us how we can finally win by revealing how goals really work – and by showing us how to avoid what typically goes wrong when we try to achieve them. Going beyond such obvious (and not very helpful) advice as “stay positive!” she offers insights – many surprising – that you can use immediately. *$300 savings is for individual registration only, not applicable to team, delegation or student rates. 1640 King Street | Box 1443 | Alexandria | VA | 22313 You have received this message as a subscriber to WorkplaceXpert.
