The amount of information every one of us deals with daily is growing out of control as life accelerates, pressure increases, and everything needs to be dealt with right now. Breakthrough progress requires more than careful planning and in depth research – we need to cultivate the happy accidents that can take our games to a new level.

This begs the question: How can we attract good luck? We need more than that lightweight luck found in a fortune cookie – we need the real deal. Thor Muller explores the eight pathways for generating the conditions that favor luck in his session “Get Lucky: The Business of Planned Serendipity.”

Thor is a true believer in well planned luck and social entrepreneurship. He is CTO and co-founder of Get Satisfaction in San Francisco, where he finds and advises startups that make a difference. His experience as a Web pioneer bridges both design and technology.
