What is the link between brain health, the capac­i­ty to inno­vate and to thrive in today’s work­place? What are the lim­its of the human brain? Can we train our brain to be more cre­ative? What can we do in orga­ni­za­tions to invest in our most pre­cious human resource –our amaz­ing brain– and boost inno­va­tion and resilience?

Break­ing the Silos and Boost­ing Our Brains. How does the brain health rev­o­lu­tion present oppor­tu­ni­ties to sup­port the health and per­for­mance of both body and brain across the full lifes­pan? What are the “low-hang­ing-fruit” areas ripe for enlight­ened invest­ments, poli­cies, research and devel­op­ment? What can we do in orga­ni­za­tions to invest in our most pre­cious human resource –our amaz­ing brain– and boost inno­va­tion and resilience? How does the brain health rev­o­lu­tion cre­ate new oppor­tu­ni­ties for health­care, psy­chol­o­gy and tech­nol­o­gy professionals?
