Exclusive - BIF-7 Workshop with John Hagel

Thursday, September 22, 2011

Pull (verb): To draw somebody or something nearer
Pull (noun): Power to attract

'Pull' is such an innovative word. It reflects an expansion of our awareness of what is possible — from evolving new dispositions, to mastering new practices, to taking new actions to realize those possibilities. Pull is the how and why of the innovator’s life.

Join BIF founder Saul Kaplan and author and Deloitte Center For The Edge co-chairman John Hagel for an invigorating conversation about the power of pull.

Digital technology has had a profound effect on our world, setting in motion a shift in market power from the makers of goods and services to the people that buy them, and to talented employees from the institutions that employ them. Drawing from decades of institutional research, the BIF-7 workshop will put into clear focus the “pull” mechanism by which this shift in power has occurred.

And building on the inspiration and insights shared at the BIF-7 Summit, Saul and John will lead a discussion about the new capabilities, behaviors and skill sets needed to establish an ongoing process for innovating within this new environment.

John is no stranger to BIF. Participants from last year’s sold out BIF-6 Summit will remember a story about change and the importance of passion in transforming our economy and culture. It was one of the most talked about stories of the Summit and we are delighted he will be returning to share more.
