The Economics of Trust
Stephen M. R. Covey, Author, The Speed of Trust: The One Thing That Changes Everything

Trust is key to healthy relationships and superior results, and yet we tend to take it for granted—at least until it's lost. Then we learn the hazards of low trust—suspicion, procrastination, doubt, litigation, lies, and strained relationships.
Join Stephen M. R. Covey and learn to rediscover trust—as a hard-edged, economic driver and a learnable and measurable skill that makes organizations more profitable, people more promotable, and relationships more energizing.

High-trust teams outperform low trust teams (by 286%!), earn more financial returns, and create more innovations. When trust is gained, speed goes up and costs go down—creating a predictable trust dividend.

How do you plan, roll out, and grow a campaign that gets noticed, goes viral, and is adopted by your audience—but which always comes back, time and again, to your message?

Join Rahaf Harfoush, who was an integral part of Barack Obama's New Media team during the campaign, and get an insider's look at Obama's all-encompassing—and historic—social media successes, which will be studied by branding and communication specialists for years to come.

Harfoush will illustrate six lessons to help you employ blogs, social networks, Twitter, and SMS messaging to create a formidable online community for learning. Jam-packed with ideas and anecdotes, and informed by the enthusiasm that marked the Obama campaign, this is an inspiring, unforgettable, and must-see presentation.

Doing Social Learning Right
Dave Wilkins, Executive Director of Product Marketing, Learn.com

Following Rahaf Harfoush's look at social media, you'll hear about organizations that have successfully employed social learning.

The same forces that killed the newspaper industry are reshaping the learning industry-disintermediation, social media, social networking, and the relentless advance of the Web as a platform. Increasingly, organizations are turning to collaboration platforms and various specific social media technologies as their social learning solutions of choice. In almost all of these cases, the learning groups are on the outside looking in as these critical platform and strategy decisions are being made. Learn how you can reshape your role and reposition yourself to lead these changes rather than being led by them.
