2014 ISA Executive Summit

No rest for the weary! We kicked off the summit Friday evening after dinner.

Our first exercise was to reflect on our past, diamonds, flaws and

issues included. These were used as lessons learned and guides for our

future.

After lunch, we start focusing on future trends [video].

Each group brainstormed and then refined their trends.

Then all of the trends were consolidated into these 11.

After further consolidating the trends down to 9, each trend was assigned to a group and each one

created a poster describing the trend along with potential impact

and responses.

Trend #1: STEM

Trend #2: Outsourcing

Trend #3: Aging workforce

Trend #4: Global demand for energy

Trend #5: Big data

Trend #6: Technology churn

Trend #7: Cybersecurity

Trend #8: Massively open online courses

Trend #9: Changing membership model

Sunday morning began by developing our future vision of ISA [video].

This is where the rubber meets the road. Trends and opportunities

meet specific actions. What initiatives can ISA undertake to

leverage short term opportunities and counteract long term threats?
