Larry will be keynoting at this year’s Rendanheyi Model Forum in Qingdao, China.  The Forum celebrates the management innovations of Zhang Ruimin, CEO of Haier, the world’s largest appliance manufacturer.

The Forum takes place on Sept. 19-21st.

On June 28th, Larry will join General Catalyst’s Hemant Taneja and author Kevin Maney to discuss their new book, “Unscaled:  How AI and a New Generation of Upstarts Are Creating the Economy of the Future” at an event sponsored by The Churchill Club in downtown San Francisco.  As start-ups transform industries using lease-able infrastructure, consumers are benefiting.  But anxiety is also rising, as long-held assumptions about the nature of work, business, and community are also being disrupted.

Larry is in Florence this week for the annual meeting of the International Aerospace Quality Group, the leading organization for supply chain quality standards for the aerospace industry.

We’re excited to announce that the January issue of Harvard Business Review features Larry’s research on a “second act” crisis facing even some of the most successful Internet startups.  The article is based on a study conducted in cooperation with Accenture Research, a continuation of research on the strategic implications of disruptive innovation and Big Bang Disruption.

“Finding Your Company’s Second Act” introduces the main themes of Larry’s next book, including what he calls the “Seven Habits of Highly Fragile Startups.”
