Edie Weiner, President, Weiner, Edrich,
Brown Inc.,

10:00 – 11:15 am Roundtable:
PROFIT IN PURPOSE:
As companies look to bang the “do-good”
drum, is it enough to simply align with good causes,
or must they now practice what they proclaim?
As employees seek out companies that also walk
the “do-good” walk, what are companies
doing to compete for discriminating talent? How
do organizations serve Wall Street, their employees
and at the same time create meaning-rich connections
for their customers?
11:30 – 12:45 pm Roundtable:
MOVING TARGET MORALITY:
Is anyone telling the truth anymore? Will morality
be a moving target in the next decade and change
to fit individual need or convenience? Are leaders
selling their souls in our political, public and
private arenas? How do we decide whom to trust?
Does it matter anymore?
12:45 – 2:00 pm LUNCHEON
2:00 –3:15 pm Roundtable:
CULTURAL FLUENCY:
As the workforce changes its complexion, what
new biases are we struggling with? How can we
better manage employees of diverse cultures so
as to tap into their unique talents and voices?
If we don’t become culturally fluent, will
our organizations be at a competitive disadvantage?
How do we shift from cultural fuzziness to cultural
fluency?
3:30 – 4:30 pm Roundtable:
THE FEMALE FOOTPRINT:
How are women in the public and private sectors
around the globe changing the ethos of the world?
Where and how will the female style and mind-set
redefine or impact communities across the globe?
Are there new opportunities to establish a firmer
female footprint in countries of lesser means?
4:30 pm CLOSING REMARKS
