Keynote

Chip Heath, Stanford professor and best-selling author of Made to Stick and Switch joins us.

 

Chip examines why certain ideas — ranging from urban legends to folk medical cures — survive and prosper in the social marketplace of ideas. Why is it that urban legends stick in the back of our minds? And why is it that you can’t get that clever little auto insurance commercial out of your head? Chip will answer these questions and help you, as a leader or marketer, create messages that will break through the larger marketplace of ideas and stick to what’s important.

 

A professor at Stanford Graduate School of Business, Chip teaches courses on business strategy and organizations. He is the co-author (along with his brother, Dan) of two best-selling books, most recently, Switch: How to Change Things When Change is Hard which debuted at #1 on the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists. Their first book, Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die, was a New York Times and Business Week bestseller and an Amazon Top 10 Business Book for 2007 for both editors and readers. It was translated into 27 languages including Thai, Arabic, and Lithuanian. His parents are just happy that their sons are playing well together.
