Next week – August 25th — I’ll be doing an online Web conference for SAP, on the topic of “Creating a Growth Culture through Innovation.” Ties in nicely to all the work I’ve been doing in writing Frogs in Texas through the summer. Have a look at the details here.
SAP is also having me keynote an upcoming client conference in Stockholm, September 15th.

“The Future of Agriculture”
I’m off to Drake, Saskatchewan for a Friday night dinner talk; I’ll be speaking to 250+ farmers, agricultural suppliers and other folks about the future, trends, and coping with change. I’ve done many such talks, including keynotes for groups such as the MidWest America Crop Protection Association.
The future of risk
My latest article: “I find it fascinating that a number of recent presentations have focused on the theme, ‘The Future of Risk,’ in which I’ve been asked to take a look at the unique challenges that will emerge in society through the next several decades…..you should gain an appreciation for the new types of risks that are emerging in a world undergoing rapid, relentless change, with resultant new forms of unexpected risk becoming the norm.”

Still paralyzed by indecision?
Just over a year ago, my artilce on the rampant indecision throughout the economy appeared in print, in which I noted “fear of the unknown has made doing nothing the new reality in business.”
I think a lot of organizations out there are still in this state of mind — and are doing themselves long term damage as they continue to drift into a culture of complaceny. It’s probably a good time to relink to the article — have a read since it provides some good food for thought.
