Conference Focus:
The rapidly changing work place requires organizations to evolve by
creating a structure which fosters learning, and adaptation in order
to survive. Applying the natural principles of complex adaptive
systems enable corporations to build an organization that can
respond rapidly to complex and diverse challenges.
Healthy companies are moving from a top-down paradigm to one
which encourages open, fluid, and frequent communication allowing
for bottom-up creative decision making, and self-management. This
year's event will focus on the issues that support the continuing
evolution of the work place by offering participants useful and
challenging information, research, and applications. We hope that
you will join us for what we believe will be a unique learning
experience.
