Global Approaches to Leadership and Change

The Emerging WorldSM Forum mission is to equip organisations to navigate on a changing world stage. To carry out its mission, EWF is a source of customised events, experiences and tools that provide new insights and capabilities. The 2009 Emerging WorldSM Forum brings together diverse, multi-national expertise and views - enabling you to generate informed, globally-minded approaches to leadership and change.

Programme

The full 2009 Emerging WorldSM Forum programme will be published online in 2008. Please complete the programme application form to receive an email announcing the online programme later in 2008.

Summary

The 2009 Emerging WorldSM Forum program is a rare opportunity for multinational organisations to benefit from a comprehensive view of leadership and change in an emerging business world. Although corporations, academics and consultants all have knowledge and experience to share, the three groups rarely come together to integrate ideas on the future of global organisational strategy, management and talent. 2009 Emerging WorldSM Forum brings together professionals across disciplines and geographies to share knowledge and practices that help multinational organisations operate effectively, including:

  • Presentations on experiences leading global organisational change
  • CEO "fireside chat" interviews
  • Special topic case studies, discussions and roundtables
  • Facilitated dialogues
  • Numerous social networking opportunities
  • Master class-style learning sessions
  • Multicultural arts and entertainment
