Roger Martin To Speak At NeoCon
5.12.10 | Toronto, Canada | Roger Martin, author, business expert and Dean of the
prestigious Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto will
be a featured speaker at NeoCon World s Trade Fair in Chicago.
Martin will present his topic, The Design of Business: Why Design Thinking is the Next Competitive Advantage. He shares a unique theory of how knowledge advances, and he connects that general theory to corporate innovation, to prescribe a solution to the innovation dilemma of design thinking.
He will set out to answer, Why, if so many companies publicly set innovation as one of their most important goals, are we so poor at it? And why is breakthrough innovation so inconsistently achieved and hard to replicate? And how can we get better at bringing innovation into the heart of our organizations.
Following his international address, Mr. Martin will sign his book of the same title as his seminar.
When: Monday, June 14, 2010
Time: 3-4 PM
Where: Holiday Inn Mart Plaza, Sauganash Ballroom, 14th Floor
