Edward de Bono to open Learning Technologies and Learning & Skills Conference

The Learning Technologies Conference attracts the L&D sector's foremost speakers: fifty different speakers will present at the forthcoming event in January. The conference will opened by Dr Edward de Bono who will deliver a keynote speech, 'Meeting the L&D challenge with smart, creative and innovative thinking,' challenging L&D professionals to assess how they think and how to tap their creativity to improve business performance.

Conference Chair Donald Taylor, looking ahead to the opening keynote by de Bono, said: "With economies in turmoil and companies bewildered, the world is realising that it can no longer look to the past to predict the future. There has never been a stronger need for a different approach to business and this opening keynote by Dr Edward de Bono get's to the core human skill that makes all the difference: Thinking!"

Dr Edward de Bono is one of the very few people in history who can be said to have had a major impact on the way we think. In many ways he could be said to be the best known thinker internationally. For many thousands, indeed millions, of people world-wide, Edward de Bono's name has become a symbol of creativity and new thinking. He has written numerous books with translations into 34 languages and has been invited to lecture in 52 countries around the world. Edward de Bono's special contribution has been to take the mystical subject of creativity and, for the first time in history, to put the subject on a solid basis.
