Keynote
 Dr. Melissa Peet is the Academic Director for the Integrative Learning and MPortfolio Initiative at the University of Michigan. Her research focuses on understanding the types of knowledge, curricula, and learning methods that support people in becoming effective leaders, entrepreneurs and change agents. From her research, Dr. Peet created the Integrative Knowledge Portfolio Process, a method that supports students in connecti ng, reflecting on, and applying the diff erent types of knowledge, values and skills they’ve gained from all areas of life.
Dr. Peet is currently exploring the role played by tacit knowledge - the unconscious and informal ways of knowing which are key to leadership and creati vity - in the development of leaders, innovators and extraordinary practi ti oners in various fi elds and disciplines. She has recently developed a methodology, Generati ve Knowledge Interviewing, for retrieving the tacit knowledge that resides within people – from novices to experts - and is in the process of testing this methodology in a variety of educational and business settings.
