“The Power of Revolutionary Thinking” will feature a panel of visionary researchers who will explore how organizations, both large and small, can use revolutionary thinking to enhance the innovation process, and show us how advanced concepts go from far-off vision to becoming part of our everyday lives.
Program attendees and viewers will learn:
How ultra-light golf clubs, advanced prosthetics and new wonder drugs are inspired by exotic technologies such as ultra-strong carbon nanotubes, electroactive polymers, and so-called ‘extreme environment’ microorganisms;
How cutting-edge laboratory technology gets commercialized and what you can learn about developing innovations that drive revenue in your company;
How revolutionary thinking is fostered and can be driven into your organization.
Featured panelists include Dr. Robert Cassanova, Director of the NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts; Dr. Penelope J. Boston, Director and Professor, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, and Director of Research for Complex Systems Research, Inc.; Dr. Bradley Carl Edwards, President and Founder of Carbon Designs, and development leader for the Space Elevator project ; Dr. Dava Newman AA ’89, Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT and a MacVicar Fellow; and program moderator Alf Nucifora, Chairman, Nucifora Consulting Group, and a syndicated columnist on marketing.
