How Do We Accelerate Progress?

- Dr. Douglas C. Engelbart, Director, Bootstrap Institute

The future context in which our organizations and institutions will soon be operating is unprecedented in its scale and rate of change and complexity far exceeding the pervasive changes experienced in the industrial revolution and the printing revolution combined, and at a much faster pace.

How can we prepare and position for this future? Dr. Engelbart offers fresh insights, powerful strategies, and amusing anecdotes. A celebrated pioneer and visionary in personal and organizational computing, Dr. Engelbart has been featured in Business Week, Fortune, US News & World Report, Leader to Leader, and the NY Times. Recent honors include: 1998 induction into the National Inventors Hall of Fame; the 1997 A.M.Turing Award, ACM's most prestigious technical award for contributions of lasting and major technical importance to the computer field; and, 1997 recipient of the $500,000 Lemelson-MIT Prize for excellence in creativity, invention and innovation.
