Keynote: A Whole New Mind
Daniel Pink, Author of A Whole New Mind, Washington, DC

Sponsored in part by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, LLP

These are tumultuous times for business. Computers do jobs better and faster than high-paid professionals - while armies of overseas white-collar workers can do other jobs at a fraction of the cost. The future belongs to a different kind of person with a different kind of mind, people like artists, inventors, storytellers, caregivers. These right-brained people are the next business elite - the women and men who will power your organization. The era of "left brain" dominance - and the Information Age that it engendered - is giving way to a new world in which "right brain" qualities - inventiveness, empathy, and meaning - will govern. And employees and organizations that incorporate these new "right-brain" abilities will flourish. Gain the all-important insights into how this trend will affect workforce management for years to come and how you can use your 'Whole New Mind' to succeed in the new environment.

Pink will show you:

• Why "high tech" abilities are giving way to "high concept" and "high touch" talents.
• How smart companies are using the arts - design, storytelling, and play - to pull ahead of the competition.
• The six essential right-brain aptitudes that now mark the fault line between success and failure.
• Why the widespread search for meaning is perhaps the greatest recruiting challenge - and the largest business opportunity - of our times.

Meet and greet Daniel Pink in the International Pavilion on the Trade Show floor from 6:00 – 6:45 pm.
