The presentations will focus on the problem-solving power of "Integrative Thinking". Prof. Martin will draw on more than 50 management success stories from his book including the masterminds behind Four Seasons Hotels, Procter & Gamble, Infosys, eBay and ICICI Bank, to demonstrate how, like the opposable thumb, the "opposable mind" -- Prof. Martin's term for the human brain's ability "to hold two conflicting ideas in constructive tension" -- is an intellectually advantageous evolutionary leap through which decision-makers can synthesize new and superior ideas. Using this strategy, his research focuses on what leaders think, rather than what they do.
