Speaker Information

This annual event utilizes Open Space Technology to gather industry professionals together to teach and learn from each other. Even the "presentations" consist of panels or groups of presenters.

Ok, so what exactly happens at iCORD?

We never know exactly what will happen when we open the space for professionals to do their most important work, but we can promise these results:

  • All of the issues that are MOST important to the participants will be raised.
  • All of the issues raised will be addressed by those participants most qualified and capable of getting something done on each of them.
  • In a time as short as two days, all of the most important ideas, discussion, data, recommendations, conclusions, questions for further study, and plans for immediate action will be documented in one comprehensive report -- finished, published and distributed to the participants when they leave.
  • During the event, all of these results are made available to our industry, so the conversation can invite every stakeholder into implementation -- right now.
  • AND...knowledge received at this event is learned easier than any other kind of "traditional" education. It is literally possible to absorb in two days what some other approaches take months and years to do.

The good news, and the bad news, is that it works. Good news because it gets people and work moving, bad news because that may mean lots of things are going to be different than before. Wanted things can appear, unwanted things disappear, and sometimes vice versa -- but that's how life is. In short, iCORD brings life back to a career and careers back to life.
