I got invited by RIM to see a talk by Roger Martin (yes, the Dean of Rotman) on his new book the Opposable Mind. So I threw on my suit and headed over to the Royal York.
Before the talk, I had a chance to speak to the Dean for a few minutes, and this further confirmed my earlier assessment that he’s super smart… super-duper smart. (certainly smarter than someone who uses terms like “super-duper”)
The talk was a pretty good overview of the book and the key ideas. I’m a lot more excited now to take his course. I also bought the book and am going to try and give it a read during the christmas break. I wanted to start reading it now but I have an exam on Thursday and should really start getting my notes together etc.
A picture from the talk (kind of blurry and small, sorry):
Who’s the girl, Riz?
The girl? I assume you mean in the blurry picture, the random head. She’s a woman who works at RIM and is a Rotman Grad.
