On Thursday, June 22nd, AeA members, business partners and high-tech
industry colleagues met for AeA's Third Annual Tech Fusion Forum
and
Wine Tasting.
This year's event was hosted by AeA member
Microsoft and held at their Waltham, MA office. Guests
enjoyed a sampling of wines from around the world and heard
from guest speaker, Luda Kopeikina, author of
The Right Decision
Every Time: How to Reach Perfect Clarity on Tough Decisions.
A Visiting Scholar at the MIT Sloan
School of Management and CEO of Noventra Corporation, Ms.
Kopeikina talked about the six years she spent at General
Electric, where she had the opportunity to work with—and observe—Jack Welch. At MIT, she researched executive
decision-making with over 115 CEOs. In 1998, Interactive
Week ranked Ms. Kopeikina within the top 20 of high-tech
public company CEOs. Sharing her experiences, advice and
research results, Ms. Kopeikina talked about how the ability to
make the right decisions is directly related to our emotional,
mental and physical balance. Known as The Clarity State,
this is a practical, proven process which CEOs and executives
everywhere are starting to follow. Understanding the
importance of The Clarity State and applying it within their own
worlds, executives are managing their organizations more
successfully due to better decision-making.
The audience was an extremely
attentive group, finding Ms. Kopeikina's words to be both
insightful and enlightening. As she finished her
presentation, guests took advantage of the valuable networking
opportunities that the event provided.
With one of MIT's top researchers
as a guest speaker, wines from around the world and a room full of
individuals to network with, AeA's Annual Tech Fusion Forum & Wine
Tasting has become an event that should not be missed.
