Some people see healthcare as a crisis. Others see opportunity. While Washington wrestles with rising health care costs, Silicon Valley′s engineers and scientists are dealing in molecules, sensors, and other technologies to radically improve healthcare treatments, options and outcomes. Yet some observe that the science/engineering/innovation mindset will not solve the crisis– that, in fact, the most serious challenges in healthcare are not that rational. Join us for an evening of persuasion, rhetoric and wit, as Churchill Club and Santa Clara University present the second annual Oxford Union debate on a big topic that matters to us all–with strong opinions on both sides of the argument.

Over the years, corporate priorities have shifted from founder vision and values to making its shareholders and executives as wealthy as possible. As a result, the corporation is now one of the least trusted entities–effectively blocked from reaching its economic potential. Colin Mayer, one of the world's leading corporate scholars and educators of next-generation entrepreneurs, and Kim Polese, one of Silicon Valley's best known and respected serial entrepreneurs, will discuss new ways of restoring corporate vision and values as a means to achieving greater economic results–at the same time contributing to societal benefit and creating new sources of entrepreneurship and innovation.

The findings from these scenarios are particularly timely as global population heads toward 9 billion by 2050, hundreds of millions of people move out of poverty in emerging economies, and global greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, alongside demand for energy.
