Most Requested Programs The New Global Economy: What It Means for Business
A number of key factors will differentiate the global marketplace of the future from the one we have now: changing patterns of trade and investment; shifting policies and interests in the US, Europe, and Japan; the rise of China and its affect on global politics and business; changing regulatory demands; and the impact of global terrorism — and the response to it. Garten combines his experience as an investment banker and a senior official in four presidential administrations with his experience in international trade, finance, and politics to help business leaders sift through a number of questions, including:
- What should you know about underlying trends?
- What are the implications for your business strategy?
- What leadership qualities will be necessary to deal with these new challenges?
Business Leadership in the 21st Century
Drawing on his two recent books, The Mind of the CEO and The Politics of Fortune, as well as on hundreds of interviews conducted for his monthly column in BusinessWeek, Garten explores the challenges CEOs, COOs, CFOs and other top business leaders will face in the decade ahead. Garten focuses on the implications of several challenges and trends, including the changing financial and regulatory framework, the impact of new technologies and the changing political and social environment. He answers questions regarding the future of business leadership, including:
- What traditional leadership skills will be in greater demand than ever before?
- How to balance the internal and external demands of running a company?
Five Burning Questions About the Global Economy
Garten invites audiences to pose “Five Burning Questions” about the Global Economy, questions tailored to their interests and backgrounds, and then leads them in a vibrant discussion. Suggested topics and questions include: Is the global economy fragmenting, and if so, what are the implications for business strategies? How are global trade and financial policies changing the environment for business? How should business leaders think about risk in early the 21st Century? What are the most promising countries and sectors to invest in, and why? What do tomorrow's business leaders need to know? In each case, Garten provides an introduction, but the session is designed to immediately engage the audience, as well as:
- Encourage the sharing of knowledge and solutions from audience members
- Identify the next big trends in the Global Economy and help audiences accommodate them
