Pointers on how communications technologies are used to market internally and externally, winning loyalty and inspiring people
A look ahead to what management approaches to expect next from the technology leaders

His perspective on the technological roots of the problem
Insights on the universal practices of trust that must be re-invented
How to build better management and business structures that avoid historical repetition
