About Our 2007 Forum
Our Sixth Annual Forum, themed Passion Flowing In2 Purposeful Action - Unleashing the Power of Us, continues to expand "thinking about thinking", raising the consciousness of better thinking in individuals and organizations. In addition, we are partnering with Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne to offer pre- and post-conference seminars and workshops. Our 2007 Forum aims to promote an environment where compelling ideas and insights will evolve from an exposure to new thoughts, and inthinking colleagues. (And these ideas and insights may lead you in untold exciting directions in your work and life after the Forum.) (to top)
Should You Attend?
Anyone interested in improving the effectiveness of individuals and organizations will gain a deeper appreciation of leadership from this Forum. Past attendees reflect a wide variation in backgrounds - which is always a highlight of our event - and as such we have confidence that our program will continue to be valuable to anyone interested in "better thinking about thinking." If you, however, would like to get a "running start" on InThinking and other associated ideas, please inquire with Bill Bellows about attending an "Enterprise Thinking" seminar offered throughout the year at a variety of locations across the U.S. and U.K..
