In the midst of uncertain times, what trends can you count on? Economic data offers conflicting signals regarding when the current global recession will bottom out, and rapid technological change makes it impossible in many industries to make meaningful predictions beyond a year or two. Yet there are several global trends that are highly predictable, exert an enormous ongoing influence on our strategic environment, and are likely to have a significant impact for decades to come. When trying to steer corporate strategy and determine how to best allocate limited resources, it is worth looking carefully at these mega-trends and their implications for global business opportunities.
This presentation provides a concise summary of global trends and offers participants an opportunity to consider the practical impact of these trends on the "new economies" and other key world markets.
Understanding the cumulative effect of these trends will require a drastic shift in strategic assumptions by many corporate executives and employees in order to sustain future growth, and it can serve as the foundation for a truly global mindset.
