Innovation for the New Millennium
Innovation is a matter of survival for organizations. It is more than meeting the needs of our current clients-it is about anticipating tomorrow. Dr. Land challenges organizations to unleash the creative, innovative power of every individual within their organization. This takes courage and, as Peter Drucker said, "Whenever you see a successful business someone made a courageous decision." Organizations interested in creating a culture to foster innovation and to capitalize on the vital link between team innovation, growth, and profit will benefit from listening to Dr. Land. Who better to discuss innovation for the new millennium than the man who has a national innovation award named in his honor!

Organizational Renewal
In his thought-provoking and entertaining presentation on organizational renewal, Dr. Land explores new discoveries about the process of change, and he describes new ways to meet the challenges facing us so that we can master change rather than spend our energy fighting it. Dr. Land outlines a framework for strategic renewal and a method to assist employees in embracing change and to provide them with new leverage for personal and organizational growth.

The Future Isn't What It Used To Be
We have reached a giant turning point. What can we do to thrive and to create a desirable future in this unstable environment? Dr. Land specializes in helping groups and individuals understand that unpredictable, turbulent, and accelerating change are the hallmarks of our era. By shifting our thinking, tapping into our knowledge, and rediscovering our creativity, we can develop the skills and attitudes required to craft a desirable future. This presentation explores options for the future and how individuals and organizations need to remain agile and adaptive . . . since the future isn't what it used to be.

New Rules for Today's Successful Leaders
Successful leaders of today are operating with new rules. Dr. Land challenges the audience to consider that success always leads to failure, and he outlines the rules for each phase of growth in an organization. One of the rules successful leaders need to understand is "failing fast." Successful leaders will not always "know" the best strategic move in a rapid-paced environment, where multiple stakeholders are competing with you one minute and cooperating with you the next. Dr. Land emphasizes that when a leader solves a problem-any problem-new problems - opportunities - are always created. Successful leaders understand this cycle, and Dr. Land provides a framework for successfully navigating an organization in these turbulent times.
