Leadership and the New Principles of Influence Daniel Pink, Author, “Drive” and “To Sell Is Human”

• Changing people’s minds often matters less than giving them an “off ramp” to act.

• The most persuasive leaders aren’t introverts or extroverts but “ambiverts.”

• Subtly reflecting the language, posture and gestures of others increases success in negotiation situations

• Frame your message for maximum influence.

Adapt and Ignite — Turning Change Into Opportunity Gary Bradt, Psy.D, Author, Leadership Consultant and C-Suite Executive Coach

• A leader’s job is to help people get comfortable being uncomfortable.

• Every change creates opportunities. Your job is to find them.

• Adapting faster and better to change isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity.

• Whoever adapts faster and better wins.

Gartner keynotes

Scenarios for the Future of IT Chris Howard, Vice President and Distinguished Analyst

• We are entering the third era of IT, full of new business opportunities: digital business moments, digital commerce moments, human moments.

• Machines and things are increasingly active participants in complex interactions.

• New business outcomes demand designs that foster democratic solution delivery and fluidity.

The Evolving Role of I&O in the Age of Digital Business Donna Scott, Vice President and Distinguished Analyst

• I&O does a great job to keep the lights on for the business, but that’s not enough.

• With 70% of CEOs focused on business growth and 83% of them investing in digital business by 2019, now is the time for I&O to rethink its role in growth and innovation.

• I&O must make time for innovation but also develop a charter for innovation, along with expectations and results.
