About the Webcast Series
Every day another company announces job cuts. The United Nations predicts another 20 million job losses as a result of the financial crisis. If correct, it will mean little innovation or growth. One possibility is that organizations abandon ideas for going "green." Another is that funding for education dries up. Yet another is that we face deflation – every economist’s nightmare. There are many, many more. All negative. All unacceptable. All un-necessary.
SAS has teamed with the International Speakers Bureau to recruit some of the sharpest minds, and ask them to share their thoughts – regardless of how radical they may seem – on how organizations can improve.
