Innovation and Corporate Strategy Expert Bruce Piasecki to Speak at National Press Club Event

The AHC Group, Leading Authorities, and Sourcebooks presents “Succeeding in a Carbon- and Capital-Constrained World"

WASHINGTON, March 8 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following event was announced by The AHC Group:

Holeman Lounge

The National Press Club

529 14th Street, NW Washington, D.C.

March 10, 2010, 10:00 a.m. - Noon

Corporate strategy and innovation expert Bruce Piasecki will facilitate a conversation based on his book, The Surprising Solution, on March 10 from 10 a.m. - Noon.

The discussion will be in the Holeman Lounge, and feature introductions by Rick Ramirez, Vice President of Sustainability for Shaw Industries - a Warren Buffet Company, and Chief Operating Officer of Leading Authorities, Matthew Jones.

Space is filling fast with leaders from groups including HSBC, BASF, Science Applications International Corporation, Koch Companies, Constellation Energy, the National Pollution Prevention Roundtable and the International Finance Corporation already attending.

Piasecki has for twenty years navigated the challenges facing business, government and individual investors. His insights into the swiftness of information, the severity of global markets, and the rising price of oil are of "immediate application and consequence" since he served on the White House Council on Environmental Technology during the Clinton years.  He has since served dozens of multi-nationals from the board of Agrium and HP to Warren Buffett's Shaw Industries.

His latest book, The Surprising Solution: Creating Possibility in a Swift and Severe World shows how companies like HP and Suncor Energy have taken advantage of people's changing demands and reinvested their resources to develop a better product. Piasecki says that companies can be on the upswing of the "S-Frontier" if they look at the social implications of their actions.

"To profit in a sustained way, you must leverage your money, corporate resources, energy and people in a fashion that answers mounting social needs," says Piasecki. "This is what will separate companies that thrive from those that wither."

With President Barack Obama's call to action for "American innovation" now before all of us, Piasecki offers a reliable bi-partisan roadmap to innovative success. See www.ahcgroup.com for a glimpse into the firms Piasecki serves.

Piasecki will be available before and after the event for expert interviews on corporate governance, sustainability and climate change. To see his expert bio, visit http://www.ahcgroup.com/c27/Bruce-Piasecki-c28.html.
