Applied Brilliance 2011
The theme for Applied Brilliance 2011 is Thriving in the Age of Transparency: Emergence, Resurgence, Convergence, Transcendence. As we slowly emerge from an unprecedented global economic collapse, the guiding principle that leads the cultural conversation is transparency. Employees demand it from their leadership and in the workplace; citizens require it from the political and financial institutions that run our world; customers want it from businesses; and, everyone expects it from their social networks. The larger concept of transparency plays into our personal relationships; how we create them and how we sustain them. With global transparency comes a higher level of public responsibility and the personal challenge of juggling the floodgate of information that immerses us in increasing waves. Whether it’s WikiLeak, Twitter, Earth Witness, Google Search or blogs, we are all instantly accountable and accessible. Applied Brilliance looks into these and other emerging trends and macro cultural shifts that reframe how we work, live and play, and provides insights from 19 thought leaders on what transparency means, and why it matters.
