Strategy is one of the three prime concerns of a leader, and, if strategy fails, the other two don't matter. Leaders rise and fall on the success of their strategy.

Unfortunately for most leaders, 70% of all business strategies fail. This is not good.

Generally, strategies don't fail because the leader is stupid, but rather, because the leader is blind. What most leaders are blind to is: Culture eats Strategy for breakfast every day. Therefore, the leader who is interested in implementing successful strategies, is the leader who understands corporate culture.

This session will be an executive overview of corporate culture from both a linguistic and a structural point of view. We will examine the principles that are the hallmark of every level of corporate culture, and conduct an interactive dialogue that analyzes, diagnoses, and suggests effective solutions to create high performing cultures. We will see that great leaders identify whom they are working with by the manner in which they cluster, and we will see that while people may talk a big game, cultural structure never lies.

This session promises to be lively, informative and thought provoking.

Almost every company says innovation is important, but few know how to get real about driving innovation. Don't just wait for the apple to fall from the sky. Nilofer Merchant presents a practical tool anyone can use to get the 'Big Idea.' In this session, she demonstrates scenario planning as a framework that allows market intelligence to drive innovation as a regular process. Attendees will learn what to do, and will also understand what role research and insight play in driving innovation.

Think this sounds too good to be true? It's not. The combination of market intelligence, competitive analysis and technology innovations allow a company to navigate forward while shaping the industry. Two real-world case studies on use of the scenario planning framework at HP and PalmSource to drive rapid innovation without 'betting the farm' will be used to demonstrate the power of this approach. You will leave with an understanding of:

<li> Scenario planning and what it involves</li>
