2010 ��ɫTV Executive Management Conference

May 17, 2010
Napa, California

The challenges facing port leaders today — including trade growth, environmental sustainability, enhanced security, and competing stakeholder interests — call for a new level of leadership capability. Not only do port leaders need to be resilient in coping with and leading change, they also need to think more strategically about the challenges ahead while identifying innovative solutions. As Albert Einstein suggested, “The world we have made, as a result of the level of thinking we have done thus far, creates problems we cannot solve at the same level of thinking at which we created them.” ��ɫTV’s Executive Management Conference helps port leaders to find new tools for addressing today's unique issues. Facilitator Byron Hanke, PPM®, retired Executive Director of the Port of Vancouver, USA, has brought together a host of experienced port executive directors, senior line department managers, and other maritime industry professionals to share the essentials of port leadership and management. Discover solutions to today’s most pressing port challenges! Session Topics Include: • Addressing Port Challenges Through Strategic Thinking • Planning for Future Transportation Technologies • A Port’s Institutional Setting and the Implications for Port Managers • Port Development and Operational Strategies in a Changing World • Managing Legal Challenges in the Public Port Environment
