Mark Salisbury brings a “new frontier” perspective to his audiences. Mark explains how the way we learn, work together, and measure value is undergoing rapid change in the new knowledge economy. Mark shows that this has profound implications for those charged with preparing human resources for this new world of work.  Mark’s audiences include managers of knowledge workers, human resource development specialists, higher education leaders, and leaders in K-12 settings.  These diverse audiences are provided with knowledge and techniques they can use to better prepare their people for success in the new knowledge economy.  Mark tailors his message to audiences so that they leave with practical advice that they can apply in their own work environments.  For example, in the demo video, Mark is addressing a local chapter of the American Society for Training and Development (ASTD).  He stresses how they – as human resource professionals – can better prepare their organizations for success in the new knowledge economy.  Mark has tailored similar presentations for managers of knowledge workers and leaders in higher education and K-12 settings.  Mark leaves audiences inspired and ready to exploit the opportunities that the new frontier provides.
Presentation Overview for Video (ASTD)

In this presentation, Mark discusses three major realizations that will greatly affect the leadership and management of organizations in the 21st century. The first realization is that traditional training as we have known it is over. Learning must now integrated with work and be continuous and ongoing. The second realization is that the “Einstein Approach” doesn’t work anymore – we can no longer rely on the brains of a single genius to solve the problems of our organizations. We must utilize our “Collective Brainpower” to solve our complex problems and create intellectual capital. And finally, the third realization is that our historical means of measuring individual performance – what people do – doesn’t really indicate their value to their organizations. The value of knowledge workers lies in how successful they are in creating, preserving, and applying knowledge to the problems of their organizations.
