MIT’s CFO Summit: Asking the Right Questions (Before Someone Else Does)

Powerful organizational and industrial forces can keep any senior leader from asking (or hearing) uncomfortable questions, creating an answer-centric environment at his or her own peril. It's what Hal Gregersen calls “The CEO’s Dilemma,” and in many ways, it’s everyone’s dilemma. In this session, Gregersen discusses how leaders and organizations can escape the innovator’s most dangerous blind spot, the space where “we don’t know what we don’t know.” A cutting-edge innovation and leadership guru, co-author of “The Innovator’s DNA,” and Executive Director of the MIT Leadership Center, Gregersen challenges organizations and individuals to question the way we think and act to make our world a better, more creative place. He has also been recognized as a 2013 Thinkers50 Innovation Award Nominee. To learn more about MIT's CFO Summit, visit www.mitcfo.com.
