How to Cope with Constant Change and Still Stay Sane Rob Peck, CEA Thursday, April 19, 2001 Sheraton Hotel, Needham With tongue firmly in cheek, Rob Peck presents a timely debunking of many of our most cherished myths concerning that mildly crucial interface component -- the human brain. Using his trademark ability to illustrate key points, with high-tech juggling and balancing acts, Rob challenges audiences to reconsider their colleagues and their customers attention assets. Wryly pointing out that the connection between inputs, outcomes -- and incomes -- hinges on how accurately designers and implementers can put themselves in their customers^Ò shoes, Rob offers a handy, sometimes humorous, overview of Multiple Intelligences Theory and common sense ways to apply it. Blending current research on adult learning principles with compelling real life examples, Rob underscores the value of flexible thinking and encourages bolder ideas and broader perspectives. In addition to a fun and uplifting celebration of what a miracle the human mind is, participants leave with a better understanding of the link between imperfection and innovation, and a deeper appreciation for the Three Ts: Teamwork, Tolerance, and Tenacity. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Software Quality Consulting voice:978-443-4254 fax:978-443-6052 pustaver@swquality.com http://www.swquality.com/users/pustaver
