The Transformation of Business, Healthcare, and Everyday Life in a Globally Integrated Society
Robert B. Reich
Professor of Public Policy, University of California/Berkeley, Former U.S. Secretary of Labor and author of Supercapitalism & The Work of Nations
Robert Reich offers a brilliant and detailed analysis of the global economic picture, providing insight into the issues of today:
escalating healthcare costs, the off-shoring of domestic jobs, Boomers’ impending retirements, the impact of technology on the workforce
and the advantages—and dangers—of the new global economy.
In a humor-infused “call-it-like-I-see it” presentation, Reich brings his experience and analytic prowess to bear on the economic
policies of the 2008 presidential candidates and the country's conventional economic wisdom, reaching insightful conclusions to j
ump-start our understanding of the new world of business and prepare us to meet the new competition.
One of the nation’s most respected public leaders and thinkers, Reich has served in three national administrations, most recently
as Secretary of Labor, and is one of the most highly regarded economists in the world. His seminal book, The Work of Nations, has
been translated into 22 languages and remains one of the most influential guides to the workforce of the future. His latest book is
Supercapitalism, which discusses the clash between the growing economy and the role of democracy.

Pat Lencioni
Founder and President of The Table Group, Inc and author of six best-selling books, including The Three Signs of a Miserable Job
In his latest talk, Pat addresses perhaps the most timeless and elusive topic related to work: job misery.
Based on his much-anticipated book, The Three Signs of a Miserable Job, Lencioni delivers a message that is as
revolutionary as it is shockingly simple. Using a mix of humor and poignancy, he dismantles the root causes of
frustration and anguish at work: anonymity, irrelevance and immeasurement. In doing so, he provides managers at
all levels, as well as employees, with actionable wisdom and advice about how they can bring fulfillment and
meaning to any job in any industry.
Whether you’re an executive looking to establish a sustainable competitive advantage around culture, a manager
trying to engage and retain your people, or an employee who has almost given up on finding meaning and fulfillment
in your work, this talk will prove immediately invaluable.
Pat Lencioni brings his models on teamwork, leadership and organizational health to tens of thousands of leaders
each year. Pat’s passion for organizations and teams is reflected in his writing and speaking and he shares his models
and inspires his audiences though his accessibility, humor and story-telling.

Follow the Evidence, Not the Tradition: A Paradigm for Quality Healthcare in the 21st Century
Brent C. James, MD
Executive Director, The Institute for Health Care Delivery Research, Intermountain Health Care; Vice President of Medical Research and Continuing Medical Education at Intermountain Health Care
In 2007, US healthcare spending amounted to $7,100 per person, or roughly 16% of GNP. That’s more than 4 times the amount spent on national defense, and the trend is dramatically upward. What do we get for all that money?
• Enormous variation in clinical practice based on local medical myths.
• Unacceptable rates of inappropriate care and preventable medical errors.
• A striking inability to "do what we know works" despite compelling evidence.
a • Massive amounts of waste and spiraling prices that limit access.
Dr. Brent James firmly believes that the practice of medicine and delivery of healthcare stands at a critical crossroads.
If we’re to successfully bridge the quality chasm defined by the Institute of Medicine, a new and innovative approach to
the practice of healthcare is mandatory. The key factor for success in this new environment may be knowledge management: the ability to extract, compile, and push out best evidence, while measuring and managing best practice.
