Achieving Change in Regulated Industries: Think Big, Act Small

To make a big change in a regulated world like Aviation, it takes a big vision but small steps to reach your goals. You also have to get involved so you are “In the room” to influence decisions.
I’m a Captain at a major US airline and I manage over 12,000 iPads called Electronic Flight Bags. I’m also the US chairman for the AEEC/IATA EFB user forum where we work with regulators around the world to innovate in the flight-deck.

In this session, attendees will learn how to:

• Get involved.
• Make connections.
• Stand your ground.
• Call things Stupid, but offer alternatives.
• Be patient as regulations are slow to change.
