Daniel Pink

The keynote address will be delivered by Daniel Pink, best-selling author and an expert on innovation, competition, and the changing world of work. Mr. Pink’s latest book, A Whole New Mind, charts the rise of right-brain thinking in modern economies and explains the six abilities individuals and organizations must master in an outsourced and automated world. Reviewers have described the book as "an audacious and powerful work," "a profound read," "right on the money," and "a miracle." Several publications—including strategy+business, The Miami Herald, and Fast Company—named it one of the best business books of 2005. A Whole New Mind is being translated into twelve languages and was published across Europe and Asia in 2006.
