The theme for Applied Brilliance 2011 is Thriving in the Age of Transparency: Emergence, Resurgence, Convergence, Transcendence. As we slowly emerge from an unprecedented global economic collapse, the guiding principle that leads the cultural conversation is transparency. Employees demand it from their leadership; citizens require it from the political and financial institutions that run our world; and, everyone expects it from their social networks. With transparency comes a higher level of responsibility and the challenge of juggling the floodgate of information that immerses us in increasing waves. Whether it’s WikiLeaks, Tweets, Earth Witness, Google Search or blogs, we are all instantly accountable and accessible. Applied Brilliance looks into these and other emerging trends and macro cultural shifts that reframe how we work, live and play.
