Academic Forum
At Emerson, we challenge ourselves to think about change differently. To this end, we brought together some of America's top academic experts in the fields of neuroscience, cultural anthropology, metaphysics, marketing, psychology, systems theory, music and athletics to answer the question, "What makes people change?"
How does a villager in Spain adapt to his or her changing economic environment? How does that differ from a worker in Silicon Valley navigating a merger, downsizing, or new technology installation? What happens to the brain when we try to break an old habit? How does culture play into how we view and adapt to change? These are some of the questions addressed by the brilliant minds we enlisted to help us. During the session, they presented their research and their latest thinking, and then helped us understand the implications for our clients.
Helping our clients face any major change.... That's why we stay sharp.
