Charles Garfield: Program Outlines

Technology, Change and Thinking Outside the Box: Who Does It Best and How
Technology represents a vital source of competitive advantage, and technological change is accelerating at a mind-boggling pace. Yet, the more you introduce technology into the workplace, the more you need to emphasize and enhance human creativity. Technology can enable but it cannot create. People create and their ability to do so can be suffocated by an over-reliance on technology for solutions. Dr. Garfield will offer an action plan for developing creativity throughout the organization by integrating the power of technology and human ingenuity.
