Key Take Aways
John K. Coyle – Olympian, Innovation Professor & Horologist
Is there time? – Endless summers when we were young
Why time seems to speed up as we get older. 8yrs old versus middle age – new versus routine
3 months to live -
Take Away: Replace your daily routines, be open to new ideas, take risks and get outside your comfort zone.
“Every man dies but not everyman lives”
 
Jennifer Eigenbrode, Ph.D. – Research Scientist, NASA Goddard Spaceflight Center
Mars – Should we go? Thinking big picture – ramifications, impacts, unknowns
Take Away: Details matter. Get all the facts and think “what if”.
 
Jason Carter Mayden – VP Design, Mark One; Media Designer, d.School, Stanford University
Is there time to save our lost geniuses? Always believe, never give up, value in helping others
“It is not what you do, but who you help along the way”, Michael Jordon
Labels placed on you and others – breed success or failure-work to disprove
Take Away:
those labels. Bend but never break. Times get tough, but always believe in yourself and others. Real
value is in helping others to achieve their goals and uncover their unseen gifts. None of us can do it by ourselves.

CIW Feedback Session | 26.Oct.2015 | Company Confidential © 2015 12


Key Take Aways
Sal Kahn – Founder & CEO Khan Academy – non-profit – free education worldwide - mathematics
Put your pride aside – Got over the idea it was not his idea
Broken teaching process – Build upon learning - not auto move forward (one size fits all) - like traditional process.
Current model does not expect mastery.
Take Away: You cannot build upon learning gaps. Tests identify gaps – and then ignore them.
Getting 90% right means there is a 10% gap you cannot build upon. Build a learning environment that eliminates these
gaps by taking into account a more self-paced learning process.
David Eagleman, Ph.D. – Author & Neuroscientist, Baylor College of Medicine
Physical time and Subjective time. Time seems to move faster as we get older.
How to slow down time?
Take Away: Add more variety, new, open and novel approaches to everyday activities. Get out of your daily routines. We
all get old, but only begin to act old when we settle into a steady routine and no longer thirst for newness and change.
Seek novelty to slow down time.
 
Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Ph.D. – Professor, Harvard Business School: chair & Director, Harvard University Advanced
Leadership Initiative
Is there Time to sit in Traffic? 50-60 year old problem we have not reinvested nor leveraged technology and innovation
Average person loses 38 hours a year in traffic - $120
Take Away: To remain competitive we need to focus on the 3 R’s (Repair – Renew – Reinvent) in
all of our activities. This will enable us to leverage technology and innovation to grow the organization.
CIW Feedback Session | 26.Oct.2015 | Company Confidential © 2015 13
Key Take Aways
Neil Stevenson – Managing Director, IDEO Chicago
Is there time to Play?
Google 20% Play/Innovation time ending – time to grow up
Value of Play is hard to measure. We tend to focus on things we can measure. Efficiencies, productivity, etc.
Take Away: We need to incorporate “unmeasurable” play time with our measured areas
(efficiencies and productivity) to unleash creativity and innovation. Focusing only on measureable
areas restricts the creativity and innovation required for sustainability.
 
Fawzia Mirza – Actor & Writer
Is there time to laugh?
Use laughter for comfort with others. Compassion fatigue. “Keep your hearts open and work with others”
Take Away: Keep an open mind and heart when workingwith others. We are all different, but
can learn so much from each other and provide more value than we can individually. None of
us have all the answers.
 
Whitney Johnson – CEO Founder of Generation Ubuntu
Is there time to live with Aids?
Take Away: You are only human through others – I am because we are
Stretch yourself beyond capacity you think you have

CIW Feedback Session | 26.Oct.2015 | Company Confidential © 2015 14


Alan Lightman – Professor, Humanities MIT/Author
Take Away: “Faith is the willingness to give ourselves over, at times, to things we do not fully
understand…. the full engagement with this strange and shimmering world.”
 
Peter Bach, M.D. – Director Center of Health Policy & Outcomes, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Is there time for cure? Lost his wife to cancer.
Take Away: We must embrace failure. Failures have to occur to get to success. Without failures, there
is no success.
 
Laura Vanderkam – Author, I Know How She Does It
Is there time to finish your to do list?
Time will stretch to what we want it to accommodate.
I don’t have time means that it is not a priority
Time is a choice
Small moments have great power.
Focus on what matters
Take Away: Time is a choice. “I don’t have time” means that it is not a priority. Time will stretch to do what we want it to
accommodate. Time Matters – We can build the life we want in the time we’ve got.
 
Leo “Bud” Welch – Blues sensation at 82
Take Away: Not stated but understood – “it’s never too late”
 
CIW Feedback Session | 26.Oct.2015 | Company Confidential © 2015 15
Key Take Aways
Judy Smith – Founder & President, Smith & Company
Is there time to fix it?
Social media has changed crisis time.
Small window when crisis occurs, so choose your words wisely
Make sure you have the facts
Talking without sound facts makes you lose credibility
Not everything is fixable. Just try to move forward.
Take Away: Make sure you have the facts. Talking without sound facts makes you lose credibility.
Not everything is fixable and sometimes you just have to move forward. Be clear of boundaries – Let people know
expectations upfront.
 
Michael Strahan – NY Giants, author, co-host Good Morning America
When you are happy – nothing is a problem – Just need solutions.
Happy people draw others. Believe that everything is possible. Use “when” not “if” to eliminate doubt.
Take Away: Always time to learn. Be open to learning new things from new people regardless of whom they are.
No one knows it all or ever will. You can do nothing on your own. Use “when” not “if” to eliminate doubt
You can only control your attitude.

Technology – Disruptive Innovation Speakers

CIW Feedback Session | 26.Oct.2015 | Company Confidential © 2015 27


Technology - Disruptive Innovation
Caterpillar (CEO Doug Oberhelman) and Uptake* (Brad Keywell) – partnership to
blend a 90-year-old company that has a multi-year product development cycle
with a technology startup (1 year old) whose development cycle can be just a few
hours. They helped us see how lots of data points and high connectivity to share
that data can lead to improved customer service and product performance around
the globe.
Uptake’s website quote: “We are looking for smart, curious and insanely talented people who
can help us break into new territory, take on massive problems and build fast.”
*Uptake – Start-Up that’s pushing development cycle to matter of hours

CIW Feedback Session | 26.Oct.2015 | Company Confidential © 2015 28


Technology - Disruptive Innovation
Fast Company’s Chuck Salter on where business is headed

Joseph Paradiso (MIT Media Lab) on how sensors are taking over our world
• The use of sensors is both practical (control how brightly a room is lit), and intrusive (track whether
someone is “working” or “casual”). Privacy and security are major concerns that need to keep pace with
technology.
• Very innovative and advanced work, but academic based. Not about how any of it would really work in the
real world.

Mark Spates (Internet of Things Consortium) on educating companies & the public on the
Internet of Things
• The difference between connected data and data intelligence
• Data intelligence is connection of data by using sensors
• A device should leverage data and ecosystems to transform human perception and behavior
• Taking the important step of moving from having “info” to “useable intelligence”
• Intrusion of Privacy – internet of everything is tracking “everything”

Jane Park (ComEd)


• Innovation can be sought at several levels:
– Things – e.g., sensors on Caterpillar machinery that can prevent downtimes around the globe
– People – e.g., sensors that modify the brightness of lights depending on how someone is working
– Communities – e.g., sensors that monitor neighborhoods and cities to prevent potential outages

CIW Feedback Session | 26.Oct.2015 | Company Confidential © 2015 29


Now What?
• "What if lighting were not fixed to our architecture, but becomes part of our body?
The questions that Dr. Joseph Paradiso
and the MIT Media Lab's Responsive Environments group are asking (and
answering!) are a fascinating look into just how far the responsive environment can
go.
• Uptake, along with Caterpillar, are in the "race to the Internet of Things." Read more
about how Uptake plans to transform the industry in an article by
CIW speaker Michal Lev-Ram. 
• Have an idea for an innovation? Make sure you follow Mark Spates's checklist to
ensure your product is a must-have.

Global Economy
Global Economy
Malcolm Lee - Nonresident Senior Fellow, Foreign Policy,
John L. Thornton China Center of the Brookings Institution,
formerly held economic policy positions in White House, State
& Commerce Depts
China has raised 600M people from poverty, which has a global impact including to the US economy (US
population just over 300M in 2014) by creating new consumers for different industries – including
pharma.

TPP Trans Pacific Partnership (similar to NAFTA) will be critical for the future of the global economy,
because it will help Asia Pac countries be more competitive and economically successful. It is hoped it
will help China avoid much of the downturns that were seen by Japan and Korea as they emerged from
their early stages (protectionism, focus on market share and jobs instead of profits)

China is trying to become more consumer driven vs manufacturing driven (they produce as much steel
as the rest of the world combined).

China must move beyond manufacturing and into other business areas such as services.

Foreign businesses in China feel less welcome now than at any time since China’s entry into the World
Trade Organization (WTO). They face a rising tide of national security and regulatory barriers that have
restricted market access.

Takeaways
• WindowsXP is full of “holes”
• There are 2 types of businesses – those that were hacked and those that don’t know
they were hacked
• Target’s credit card breach was due to a connection thru their heating contractor
• Preventive measures are expensive and difficult for companies to justify the ROI –
unless the company gets hacked into
o Small companies should team up with the larger companies (Amazon, etc) who are large enough to
handle the internet security costs which are projected to be in the trillions

• There is a world wide information Security war


o Hackers (Technical Underwriters) - “Defense” and “Crime”
o The current laws that discourage security research, that blur the lines between "defense" and "crime."
o Some companies allow good “defense “ hackers to test their security for discovery of flaws
o Security Law needs to be reformed; they should be revised to allow the “defense” hackers to come
forward with their knowledge without being prosecuted

o Pharma is the 3rd largest target for hackers going after IP

Residence Proposal for the
Architecture Biennial—The Thick City
Pavilion— looks to engage the
history, status and future of Chicago’s
urban form by calling attention to the
layered stack of infrastructural
strata upon which the city rises.

By challenging the
conventional notion of Chicago
as “flat,” they look to reframe
and challenge all-too-familiar
readings of the city in order to
open up a dialogue about its
potential future(s).
