Title: Human Capital as a Function of Data, Information, Knowledge, Innovation, Invention, and Ideas

Speaker: George Kubik (Anticipatory Futures Group, LLC)

Abstract: The understanding of human capital expressed as competency has expanded to include categorizations of knowledge, innovation, and ideas. Together, these concepts form a distinctly new form of capital that facilitates productive economic activities in new ways. Join us as we define, examine, contrast, and explore the rapidly evolving nature of data, information, knowledge, innovation, invention, and ideas as they increasingly define 21st century value creation.

( Fourth in a series of looks at the unique combination of skills to be required in the workplace of 2050 by the former president of the MN Chapter)
