Global business opportunities are everywhere, but how do business leaders seize those opportunities in the face of slower economic growth? What forces will be shaping global business?   What are the top opportunities and challenges of the future?  How can future leaders prepare to manage their organizations? How can you be ready to participate and succeed? Growing Global: Lessons for the New Enterprise examines the principles defining the new era of globalization — speed, scale, branding, technology, and leadership — and addresses how businesses can learn from experienced experts to grow and succeed. Tom Friedman, our distinguished guest for this event, will moderate with a panel of Growing Global authors including Sam Palmisano, Shelly Lazarus, David Kappos, Doug Haynes and Chris Caine. The program will include two students from Columbia Business School offering their perspectives.

The event is free and open to the public. It will also be webcast live and a recording will be available afterward. Register for the webinar by clicking here.
