That's why we'll be learning about topics like human performance improvement, workforce and workplace trends and insights, and knowledge management. That's why our symposium will conclude with a roundtable discussion and a town meeting to exchange ideas about how to put this all together to achieve results. I believe it will be exciting to exchange ideas and talk about workforce performance as one piece of lifelong learning. Learning is truly on its way to being available anytime, anywhere, and anyhow. Working together is something that just makes sense, because collaborative efforts result in creativity and innovation.
Partnership leverages resources, and improves the product.
I wish I was as fortunate as you to be able to participate in the entire symposium. Here you will see, feel, and touch some of the exciting applications of learning technology that you will hear about in workshops and see in the Vision Center. Our keynote speaker this morning, Edie Weiner, writes in her book, An Insider's Guide to the Future , that it is not change, but the pace of change, that leads to some discomfiture. This certainly applies to the rapidity with which learning technology is emerging. In January of this year, the President issued an Executive Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies.
