The Conference:

The Globalisation Management Strategies Conference will be the second conference of its kind addressing the issues of managing globalisation. The thematic area this year will be based on the Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Innovative Leaders in Globalization Program.  It will focus on six key areas with an emphasis on innovative practices that best position companies for global expansion: Executive Management of a Global Organisation, Strategy & Planning, Global Marketing & Service, Distributed Operations & Technology Integration, Research & Development, and Cross-cultural Organisation & Human Resources Management.

This conference is for the individual or organisation who desires the vision and skills to manage globalisation with an intelligent and coherent strategy.

Most importantly, managing globalisation calls for a different attitude and a new type of leader. This conference, provides an opportunity to hone your knowledge and skills as you learn from recognised masters of globalisation.  Leadership is more than just managing. It requires vision, knowledge, and wisdom. This conference is designed for people who desire to increase their leadership skills and cache of resources in the area of globalisation.

Philosophy:

Today, there are several public forums where one can learn about technical aspects of internationalisation, the linguistic and process aspects of localisation, or the intricacies  of international marketing or finance.  But very few opportunities exist for the individual to learn and grow in the area of managing the process and infrastructures of globalisation.

We have partnered with Deloitte and Touche and are assembling a group of world-class speakers with profound leadership responsibilities and breadth and depth of experience from which we all can benefit.

Unlike other conferences, which inundate you with information, then set you loose with a newly-filled brain to digest the content for your own situation, we have designed the venue for this event to foster peer-level discussion and feedback. 

Each session will provide time for the presentation of a problem set, case-study, or solutions, with discussion time, where you apply the concepts and issues presented in your specific industry or corporate culture.   The sessions end with time for group discussion, led by the session leader to wrap up the concepts.
