Malcolm Gladwell Blinks at RSA: Malcolm Gladwell (who I must confess is probably my favorite author) was one of the paid keynote speakers and gave a really excellent 45 minute talk more or less on the subject of his most recent book Blink! Whether or not you've read the book I really recommend the movie (in this case the keynote replay available from the RSA website). The book and the talk are all about how humans make good decisions (contrary one might say about the McKinsey consulting approach) and how important this problem is now that we are swamped with information to deal with (it turns out less is more). And Gladwell is very entertaining to boot.
