  • Ideas Economy: Human Potential drew together top experts from business, government, academia, and other disciplines to discuss and debate how to boost productivity by harnessing the potential of individuals and societies.
  • Ms. Wittenberg-Cox discussed “Intellectual diversity in an open world,” including how open innovation is changing the way we work, global perspectives on managing a global workforce and the state of the talent war with Massimo d’Amore, Chief Executive Officer, PepsiCo Beverages Americas and moderator Adrian Wooldridge, Management Editor of The Economist.
  • With a spike in the number of young people in the developing world, a generation of new workers demanding entirely different work environments, and an aging population that requires heavy resources—the nature of work and talent development must evolve dramatically over the next few decades.
  • Ideas Economy: Human Potential explored these and other related issues including the cyber schools of the 21st century, the convergence of work and life, the future of social media, health care for an aging workforce, immigration and mobility, artificial intelligence, and more.
