Keynote Speaker BTOES 2017
I’m very glad to be a keynote speaker at the Business Transformation & Operational Excellence 2017 in Orlando, FL Mar 21-24. I’m excited to share the stage with experts from NASA, Toyota, BMW, Walmart, Bose, Wells Fargo, & Cardinal Health. Previous keynote speaker’s include these well known authors: Malcolm Gladwell, Jim Collins, & Subir Chowdhury. A very impressive list.
When I was asked to speak they specifically said they wanted a new perspective. They chose me to show their attendees a new way to succeed in the future. I’m taking that very seriously. To deliver on that request I’m writing a new book. This book covers what I believe is the biggest challenge facing all leaders. More importantly, like all my books it gives practical answers.
Everyone realizes something big is happening. It affects nearly every aspect of life. Despite constant talk and worry about the effects only a few people are even hinting at the root cause.
If this challenge is not handled properly it will cause major companies to fail. It will cause massive unemployment. It may even cause nations to fall. As bad as this challenge can be the opportunities will be even greater for those who know how to handle it properly. Since it is different from anything that has come before most people don’t see it even though they are feeling the effects.
I plan to release my new book to the attendees at the conference.
Even if you can’t attend the BTOES conference you can get my new book the day it comes out.
Protected: 216 Types of Waste = 216 Potential Innovations
Huge Scary Problem, Simple Cheap Solution
An article in Foreign Policy claims there appears to have been “Military-Style Raid on a California Power Station”.
The second to last paragraph is a perfect example of intelligent innovation.
A shooter “could get 200 yards away with a .22 rifle and take the whole thing out,” Wellinghoff said last month at a conference sponsored by Bloomberg. His proposed defense: A metal sheet that would block the transformer from view. “If you can’t see through the fence, you can’t figure out where to shoot anymore,” Wellinghoff said. Price tag? A “couple hundred bucks.” A lot cheaper than the billions the administration has spent in the past four years beefing up cyber security of critical infrastructure in the United States and on government computer networks.
Systems break at the weakest point. Quite often that means the solution is the simplest thing.
Innovation doesn’t make any random thing better. Innovations improve the most important thing. Innovations must:
- better satisfy the currently most under-satisfied desire
- not reduce the satisfaction of other desires bellow the required level
- not over-satisfy currently satisfied desires
