Keynote Description:
Social ecologist Peter Drucker stated in a 2002 Harvard Business Review
article, “[Knowledge workers] have become the major creators of wealth and
jobs. Increasingly, the success – indeed the survival – of every business
will depend on the performance of its knowledge workforce. And since it is
impossible, according to the laws of statistics, for an organization to hire
more than a handful of ‘better people’ the only way that it can excel in a
knowledge-based economy and society is by getting more out of the same kind
of people — that is, by managing its knowledge workers for greater
productivity. The challenge, to repeat an old saying, is ‘to make ordinary
people do extraordinary things.’”
Call this new era what you like...the Global Knowledge Economy, the
Conceptual Age...the way ahead is clear. Competitive advantage and the new
value proposition lies in people (human capital)and the knowledge, skills,
and experiences embodied by the workforce. Facing this challenge
(opportunity!) requires a radical redefinition of learning and performance.
It demands professionals with solid business, collaboration, and
communication skills. In essence, individuals who can lead efforts in
organizational transformation, globalization, innovation and strategic
enablement. Who better “to make ordinary people do extraordinary things”
than learning and performance professionals equipped with the tools
necessary to build and support the 21st century workforce! By leveraging
ASTD’s Competency Model even a novice practitioner can help peers and
leaders look beyond today and align to their organization’s transformational
strategy.
In this session you’ll learn how you can use this framework to start the
crucial transformation – from reactive & tactical to responsive & strategic
– as you re-frame how you perceive (and are perceived) within the
institutions you serve. You’ll leave this session with tools to help you
operationalize the ASTD Competency Model to facilitate organizational
transformation and a personal action plan to focus your first steps.

Topic: Linchpin - Are you indispensible?
Program from the book by best selling author Seth Godin
Seth Godin is the author of ten international bestsellers that have been
translated into over 30 languages, and have changed the way people think
about marketing and work. His Unleashing the Ideavirus is the most popular
ebook ever published, and Purple Cow is the bestselling marketing book of
the decade.
His penultimate book, Tribes, is a nationwide bestseller, appearing on the
Amazon, New York Times, BusinessWeek and Wall Street Journal bestseller
lists. It's about the most powerful form of marketing--leadership--and how
anyone can now become a leader, creating movements that matter.
His latest book is called Linchpin, and it is the fastest selling book of
his career. Linchpin challenges you to stand up, do work that matters and
race to the top instead of the bottom. More than that, though, the book
outlines a massive change in our economy, a fundamental shift in what it
means to have a job.
In addition to his writing and speaking, Seth is founder and CEO of
Squidoo.com, a fast growing recommendation website. His blog (find it by
typing "seth" into Google) is the most popular marketing blog in the world.
Before his work as a writer and blogger, Godin was Vice President of Direct
Marketing at Yahoo!, a job he got after selling them his pioneering 1990s
online startup, Yoyodyne.
