Henry Mooney & Dan Israel – Global Dynamics & Challenges of Water and Energy: Technology and Mgmt.

Life in our planet is not sustainable without water and energy. Throughout history human settlements have always thrived when located contiguous to bodies of water such as oceans, rivers and lakes. Increasingly, access to these resources has become limited and scarce, and technology now plays a major role in their development and responsible use.

Brian Spitzberg – Communication Competence in an Increasingly Stressful Workplace

Our workplace is a reflection of society. It is an increasingly globalized and multigenerational environment with opportunities and challenges led by growing human networks and knowledge workers supported by robust information and telecommunication networks that give us access to distance collaboration like never before. A direct product of this new reality is the increased stress and anxiety at all levels of the organization. Our new world of global competition, displacement, violence and income inequalities contributes to this trend.
