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.
