We
are excited to bring you an ISPI Cracker Barrel! Cracker
Barrels are a long-standing ISPI tradition. A Cracker Barrel features several
presenters running simultaneous table discussions. At our June
8th event, we'll have 6 presenters, and they will all repeat their
sessions 3 times. That means you need to pick the 3 presenters you most want to
hear! Plus, we'll wrap up with a special presentation from Alex Laks, our VP Technology.
As your host
for the evening, I encourage you to carve time in your schedule to join
us for some nibbles of cheese and nuggets of learning. You can be guaranteed
an interactive, informative and fast-paced evening. | |

Problem-Solving Tactic:

are the assumptions we hold about any given situation. Moreover, most of our assumptions
are unconscious. Linda Naiman will teach you how to use assumptions as a catalyst
for problem-solving and for generating breakthrough ideas. Linda
