Gleaning from his personal experiences across three astronautical missions, Dr. Noguchi will look to impart insights on how to approach risk management, resilient team building, and effective communication aimed at problem solving that accommodates the diversity of a multi-national crew. We hope this thought-provoking keynote will provide hints for how leaders can approach today’s society, in which diversity is a premise.
