Fortune Brainstorm E - Austin, TX, USA
4:40 PM
SUSTAINABILITY AND INNOVATION
Most CEOs know what sustainability is and why it’s important. The key is to figure out how to turn the concept into an opportunity. What strategies, systems, processes, and structures lead to breakthrough products and services? How can focusing on a low-carbon, safe chemical world lead to new ideas and stronger, more profitable relationships with suppliers? Experts now predict that we will be living in a world where every component has its own IP address and will be connected in a massive intelligent web. Industries will become more energy efficient as every process becomes smarter, and corporations will be able to make more with less—a must for a resource-scarce world. The nature of work will also change as white collar employees will need better analytical skills, factory workers will toil more with their heads then their hands and marketers will need to parse mountains of data. CEOs and management experts will discuss how to maneuver this new world.
