Plenary I:
Leadership and Positive Turbulence in Today’s Business
Schools
A presentation on the ideas of positive turbulence; the
counter intuitive idea based on the ability to read turbulence, not
attempting to wall it out but bringing in a controlled amount into the
organization. Seeking turbulence, leaders create a condition of renewal that
is referred to as
positive turbulence.

Luncheon and Plenary II - The Changing Global Workforce
and Its Implications
With quit rates the lowest they've
been in decades, HR professionals might gain a false sense of confidence
that retention programs are right on target. Experts warn, however, that
today’s employee "loyalty" may be driven more by the economy than anything
else. As the economic picture brightens, they say, watch for a spike in
turnover. Indeed, there appears to be storm clouds building on the
horizon. The combination of rising job dissatisfaction, an improving
economy, and demographic trends that predict labor shortages, skill
deficits, and fewer knowledge workers has all the elements for a perfect
storm where retention and engagement issues will be in the eye. And, this
storm could last for decades. Pay, benefits, and other company programs can
help attract talented employees, but by themselves will not work to retain
and engage key talent. This session will explore the key trends, and help
build an understanding the different values, attitudes, and needs of four
generations that will be in the workforce over the next decade.

Plenary III: Developing
the Creative Mindset

and execution of the elective MBA Tracks at the Tepper School of Business at
