Limmud Bay Area Festival 2018

Corporate America has changed tremendously over the past few decades, as we shift further and further towards the information economy.  Our approaches to managing companies, on the other hand, have been largely stagnant - many of the practices still in use today go back to the Mad Men era and beyond.  This is creating a massive disconnect between how things are done and the demands of the modern-day workforce.  Alex Furman, co-founder and head of organizational development at Invitae will talk about bringing modern analytical approaches to bear on making the right decisions, identifying top talent, removing systemic bias from compensation, and aligning individual incentives with those of the company at large.
