Saatchi & Saatchi CEO Kevin Roberts--Ideas as the Currency of the Future

As a part of the Wharton Leadership Lecture Series, Saatchi & Saatchi CEO Kevin Roberts gave a speech entitled "Ideas as the Currency of the Future." Saatchi & Saatchi is a worldwide advertising firm, and its major clients include GE and Proctor & Gamble. Its Wikipedia article gives a great description of the company's background and current operations.

Mr. Roberts holds that the future of his company "lies in the hands of bright young students," which make ideas the currency of the future. The speech is featured here, and thanks to Flickr for the picture.
