Our responsibilities include creating sustainable and intelligent venues that educate, empower and facilitate discussions between today's and tomorrow's business leaders. One such thought leader is Malcolm Gladwell. His Tipping Point gave us a new way to think about how the world around us functioned, Blink taught us how our brains work and now in Outliers, his latest book, Gladwell sets the stage for yet another new human paradigm shift, looking at men and women who, for one reason or another, are so accomplished and so extraordinary. Beginning on May 12th, Gladwell, along with dozens of other business leaders including Katie Bayne the CMO of Coca-Cola, and Derrick Pennick of Food Lion, take the challenge -- and share their insights at Nielsens Consumer 360 in Orlando Florida. What can you expect the future to be? Listen for the clues as Nielsen has an off-the-cuff chat with Gladwell at his home.
