Prospects for the Global Economy in 2010
The demographics of the world are shifting. Wealth is being redistributed. The pressure for natural resources is escalating and hyper-urbanization is dictating the demand for goods and services. No company is exempt from the impact of these dynamics, but the continual change creates the need for more information, sounder judgment and improved risk assessment. Based on his extensive experience as the dean of the Yale School of Management, years spent as a trade policy expert in Washington, DC, for four presidential administrations and a sought-after consultant for major global companies, Jeffrey Garten describes:
· How the 3 F’s─food, fuel and finance─have converged to create the current slowdown
· Insight into the major trends of emerging markets and how these trends will impact corporations and governments throughout the world
· The impact of the quantum increase in global regulations and state capitalism
· The developing intersection between economy, business, policy and politics
· What companies and individuals must do to adapt to the evolving economy

Tailored to your specific industry and issues, Garten offers insight into:
· How government ownership changes market dynamics

The Five Burning Questions Keeping CEO’s Up at Night
Given the complexity of the business culture, it can be challenging to step back and assess the long-term trends that will impact your corporate success. To ensure that you stay ahead of change, hot topics such as fundamental shifts in markets, government intervention and resource pressures should be at the forefront of your executive team’s mind. That dialogue can get pushed to the back burner given the day-to-day fires that have to be put out. Jeffrey Garten joins your senior-level team armed with five burning questions collaboratively crafted to encourage the sharing of knowledge and create an awareness of big trends in the global economy. Garten orchestrates a vibrant discussion that could include questions such as:
· What are the potential economic shocks on the horizon─political, economic, financial and social─and can we prevent them?
· How significant will Asia be in the global economy, and should we welcome or oppose some of the trends?
· How precarious is the global energy situation, and what are our choices for energy security at reasonable prices?
· What is the best design for the highly adaptive organization of the future, given the pressures of rapidly changing trade and investment patterns, disruptive technologies, changing requirements for skills and talents in the workforce, etc.?
