On July 13th and 14th Outhink is sponsoring an event with the SEMI trade association. This event is being directed by the President of North America, Dave Anderson. SEMI just celebrated 50 years that powered the global economy. That really is amazing when one thinks about how pervasive electronics around in our lives and at the core is Semiconductor technology and those that market the equipment and materials that bring us new technologies at a more rapid rate every year. How do we adapt to this rapid change?

The Challenge of Change

John Hagel | Founder Beyond Our Edge, LLC. | Futurist, Best Selling Author

We live in a world of accelerating change, but the challenge is that rapid change generates fear, and fear often leads people to become resistant to change. Leaders often intensify this fear by resorting to a “burning platform” message. To embrace change, we need to focus on inspiring opportunities that will motivate people to boldly move forward in spite of fear.
