Soren Kaplan, the author of Leapfrogging:  Harness the Power of Surprise for Business Breakthroughs will join us for this regional Alliance meeting to discuss "the power of surprise."  He will reveal why today’s leaders need to do exactly what they’re taught to avoid:  embrace surprise — the key to breakthrough innovation.  Soren will assist today’s leaders in seeking out, recognizing and responding to surprising experiences and events in order to create game-changers that leapfrog the expectations of customers, partners, employees, the market, and the competition.

Following Soren's keynote, members will begin their private Alliance Group meetings. We will also host a CEO Luncheon after the meeting, from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm, to enable our members to meet CEOs from throughout the Alliance.
