I was invited to speak at this year's Strategic Planning Annual Conference in Marina Del Rey, California.

While attending the conference, I had the opportunity to sit in and listen to presentations by other strategic thought leaders.  Although I was unable to attend every session, key topics in this year's conference were:

1) How to increase the pace and quality of decision making
2) How value chain analysis can result in better customer understanding
3) The role of the Chief Strategy Officer
4) How technology innovation is more predictable than you might think.

I will write about these topics and my thoughts on implications in subsequent postings.  In addition, I will share information about my presentation on Customer BehaviorNets.  You will hear more about this in the coming months.
