 How can organizations survive amid the chaos and disruption of 2009? The key, says bestselling author Daniel Pink, is to focus on skills that can't be outsourced. As computers do jobs better and faster than high-paid professionals, and armies of overseas workers do other jobs at a fraction of the cost, Mr. Pink says every organization must reckon with the new competitive logic of business. In short, the era of "left-brain dominance" — and the Information Age that it engendered — is giving way to a new world in which harder-to-outsource right-brain abilities (artistry, inventiveness, empathy, and big picture thinking) will govern. Organizations that weave these right-brain abilities into their business strategy will flourish. Those which do not risk being left behind. In his provocative and entertaining presentation, Mr. Pink reveals the six abilities that now mark the fault line between success and failure. And he shows how to harness abilities in your organization, develop them in your staff and keep jobs from disappearing overseas. |
