"The meaning of strategy in a connected, immediate, disrupted world"

THEME

The world organizations now address is rapidly evolving. It is marked by ambiguity, volatility, unpredictability and disruption.

WHY

Organizations face loss of scale advantage, systemic risk, cultural shifts, shortened decision cycles and exponential change.

WHY

Technology and communications advances are delivering an open, always connected, massively networked, real-time world in which information is ubiquitous and instantly available.

WHY

How are organizations successfully developing and executing strategies in such a dynamic environment? What's working and what isn't? What new approaches are called for?

WHY

World Strategy Week 2014 will assemble the best experts and leaders to address these questions.
