The Conference Board, in conjunction with research partners DDI and EY, took the pulse of business executives across the world regarding their top-of-mind strategic issues.

“Tackling Space Junk With a High-Tech Harpoon and Net”

There are 100 million pieces of space junk 1 mm or larger floating above our heads, all traveling at more than 17,000 miles per hour. Space is a scary place! This video shows an innovative way to skim the atmosphere of all this dangerous material.

“Are You Prepared for Quality 4.0?”

In this interview with Ephy Torenberg of enterprise quality management software company HighQA, we discussed the implications of automation and big data for the world of quality. Be sure to check out our webinar on this topic, “Quality 4.0—A Game-Changing Trend” on Wed., March 14, at 2 p.m. Eastern, 11 a.m. Pacific. Click here to register.
