WHAT IS A "CONVERSATION HOUR"?
A "Conversation Hour" provides an opportunity to meet in a small group setting with an experienced business leader. A “Conversation Hour” is not intended to be a lecture – instead, it is a time for you to ask questions and gain valuable insights from a business professional. There will be other students at this gathering, so you won’t need to carry the conversation on your own. However, you do want to be prepared to ask questions.

BACKGROUND ABOUT OUR VISITOR:

Ric Merrifield has spent more than 10,000 hours as Microsoft’s business scientist and has filed 12 patent applications with the goal of helping companies rethink their operating models. He is the author of the 2009 book entitled “Rethink: A Business Manifesto for Cutting Costs and Boosting Innovation.” Also, he co-authored “The Next Revolution in Productivity,” a June 2008 Harvard Business Review article focused on case studies that highlight needs of organizations and the opportunity to rethink business operating models before making major technology changes.
