Trimble Announces Keynote Speakers for International User Conference
Trimble Dimensions 2009 -- Positioning for Success Today. And Tomorrow.
SUNNYVALE,
Calif., Dec. 16, 2008 – Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) announced today the keynote
speakers for its International User Conference—Trimble Dimensions 2009. The
conference, which will be held February 23-25, 2009 at the Mirage Hotel in
Las Vegas, focuses on applying technology to meet the daily needs faced by
surveying, engineering, construction, mapping, Geographic Information System
(GIS), geospatial and mobile resource management professionals.
Your Success is Our Business. Steven W. Berglund, president and CEO
of Trimble, will discuss how vision and innovation has changed the landscape
for surveyors, contractors, engineers and geospatial professionals to
transform the way work is done. The rapid development of technology has
created an environment of convergence, a philosophy which has been embraced
by Trimble for more than 30 years and is the foundation for its business.
Maximizing value through innovation is fundamental to identifying new growth
opportunities, increasing productivity, saving money and gaining a
competitive edge in today's challenging times...and tomorrow—our customer’s
success is Trimble's business.
Get Out of the Box to Facilitate Change. Dr. Robert Kriegel teaches
bold, innovative, “out of the box” strategies for keeping ahead of the
changes, challenges and competition in today’s dynamic marketplace. Author
of the international bestseller: If it ain’t broke...BREAK IT!, Dr. Kriegel
has been called by U.S. News & World Report one of this country’s leading
authorities in the field of change and human performance. His book, Sacred
Cows Make The Best Burgers, made Business Week’s bestseller list. His latest
book about innovation and “out of the box” thinking is How to Succeed in
Business Without Working so Damn Hard.
Rev Up and Reinvent for Success. Former Chairman of Harley Davidson,
author of national best-seller More Than a Motorcycle and Harvard Business
Review article Leadership U-Turn, Richard Teerlink advocates a
"participative change" model as the only way meaningful reinvention can
succeed. When Richard Teerlink joined Harley-Davidson the company had a poor
reputation, falling market share and faced significant losses. Teerlink and
a small band of executives undertook an awe-inspiring corporate revolution
within Harley that would ultimately create a world-class motorcycle company,
inspire a nation of devoted fans and solidify Harley’s lasting prominence in
the motorcycle industry. Teerlink’s unshakeable belief that people were the
most important resource in any company would prove to be the guiding force.
Teerlink inspires and gives practical, relevant insight from his 18 years at
Harley-Davidson where he fostered change that saved the brand from
extinction.
Experience and Innovation—Keys to Exploring New Frontiers. Dr. Steve
Squyres uses his Mars Exploration Rover (MER) mission experience to discuss
key aspects of management techniques such as innovation, creativity, and
teamwork to create an environment of success. He is a Goldwin Smith
Professor of Astronomy at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, and is the
principal investigator for the science payload on the MER Project. He earned
his Ph.D. from Cornell in 1981 and is a former student of the late Carl
Sagan. Dr. Squyres has participated in many of NASA’s planetary exploration
missions, including the Voyager mission to Jupiter and Saturn, the Magellan
mission to Venus, and the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous mission. His book,
Roving Mars: Spirit, Opportunity, and the Exploration of the Red Planet
(2005) became a Disney IMAX film narrated by Steve and the late Paul Newman.
