Abstract
Today’s technologies provide for very sophisticated solutions to complex global challenges. Yet sometimes attaining high-level outcomes and achieving critical results remains elusive. While challenges in implementing new technology or accelerating commercial deployments can be abundant, the far bigger challenge is that of the human kind – i.e. getting people focused and working together!
In this fast paced presentation, Dr. Friedman will discuss the nuts and bolts of getting all team memebers on the same page -- with clear roles, goals and responsibilities. And he will provide some practical tips and ideas about how you can get your people focused, engaged and committed, or in short, how to herd cats!
