"What is curious about human nature is that we sometimes seem unable to translate knowledge from such everyday examples into our workday life."

The next generation of computing has arrived and it is your challenge to optimize technology for your organization. Staying ahead of technology is no easy task in a tough economy. Does your organization have what it takes to get through turbulent times and leverage innovation to achieve success?

Turning ideas into action, implementing change in a seamless and in a timely manner, while optimizing ROI are at the forefront of your planning.

Celebrated researcher, Bill Buxton has valuable insights to share from more than a decade as Principal Researcher at Microsoft Corporation. Buxton's knowledge, drawn from both his personal experiences and fascinating career, will guide you through a personal approach that sets you up for success.

"The most dangerous way of all to play it - is so-called safe."

Through the course of the evening we addressed some of today's persistent business challenges:

• Does your organization have a successful process for managing innovation to drive growth?
• Can you take ideas from inception, to evaluation, to implementation, at a competitive speed?
• How do you prioritize your innovation investments?

"There is not a single institution of merit or worthy of respect in our society that was not created out of risk."
