An increasingly globalized economy, rapid market changes, and emerging technologies have created unprecedented challenges and opportunities for business leaders. The spotlight is on the next decade and what it is going to take to create Strategic Differentiation that will accelerate companies past the competition. Meaningful differentiation requires remarkable leadership and innovation. This select forum for C-level executives is dedicated to helping senior business leaders rise to today's unique challenges. The author of the successful strategy execution book POWERSHIP®, Kathie Topel, Tom Stat from IDEO, authors of the leading innovation book titled The Art of Innovation, top technology executives, and Chicago-based CEOs will share insights that explore how to:

• Harness innovation in order to grow and create shareholder value and differentiate yourself from the competition
• Successfully transition from strategy differentiation to smart execution
• Leverage Social Media to empower collaboration and engage employees, clients, and the marketplace for success
• Maximize the conversion of marketing driven forecasts into real revenue through effective business intelligence
• Achieve top prices, foster brand loyalty, create strong teams, get your message out and deliver results
  

Harness the Strategic POWER of Social Media for the Next Decade will feature guest speakers from WOMMA (Word of Mouth Marketing Association), Authors, and case studies of companies that have used the techniques that will be shared to successfully execute business strategies and create a competitive differentiation for the next decade.

Join us at The Gleacher Center for this special presentation in Chicago on Thursday, October 22 2009 from 7:30 AM - 12:00 PM.
