KEYNOTE

The CEO's Perspective on Growth

David Frigstad, Chairman of the Board, Frost & Sullivan

The CEO's key responsibility is to drive growth – this is what makes CEO’s famous or gets them fired. More than two thirds of CEO’s are frustrated with their current growth rate and would like to see it accelerated. A similar percentage of CEO’s see the need to improve their management team’s ability to implement strategy at best practice levels. The reality is that it is increasingly difficult to grow at above average industry growth rates without a solid platform to drive growth.

This platform – “The Growth Acceleration System” empowers companies to develop a greater visionary perspective on their industry, create more innovative growth strategies and implement them at best practice levels. If you want to accelerate growth or want to learn how to make smart growth investments this presentation shows you how.

Key Take-Aways:

How to create a visionary perspective on your industry
The importance of building the CEO’s Growth Team
A framework to develop a growth opportunity pipeline
An evaluation system which eliminates bad ideas and prioritises the best
A system to generate a culture of growth, innovation and Leadership
A measurement tool to rank the future growth potential of the market players
A growth strategy workshop model that will align and inspire the growth team

David Frigstad, Chairman of the Board sets the stage for a very interactive and inspiring event which will stimulate ideas, engage you, and introduce you to partners and opportunities that will accelerate the growth of your company.

GLOBAL SUMMIT KEYNOTE

The Global Factory…Strategies for Globally Distributed Operations

Professor Peter J Buckley, Professor of International Business and Director of the Centre for International Business, University of Leeds, (CIBUL), UK

The concept of the Global Factory is a response to changes in the organisation of multinational enterprises. Such firms are now organised much more on a networked basis, using outsourcing and offshoring as key strategic tools. The Global Factory examines changes in global demand (“local/global contrasts”), supply and production based on internalisation versus outsourcing, knowledge management and the dynamics of creating value through intangible assets and network configuration.

New strategies in the global firm include:

“Fine Slicing” locating every more finely defined activities in least cost locations;

Outsourcing and Offshoring (“you don’t have to own a facility to control it”) and

The orchestration role of the focal firm in a network global factory. This structure provides flexibility and resilience allowing firms to survive downturns, crises and panics.

Track 5: Building Technologies & Security

Smart Buildings: Security and Technology Convergence Developments in IT and increased technology performance is leading to the convergence of products, systems and competitors as organisations aspire to deliver a more integrated solution. Convergence is a subject that divides the security and building technologies industry. Uncertainty over which standards will prevail, challenges with developing a clear value proposition and demonstrable ROI for customers, and the difficulties associated with planning for a market that isn’t clearly defined are all top of mind challenges. Added to this, new competitors are entering the market, value chains are changing and a new customer is emerging. The Building Technologies & Security Track at Frost & Sullivan’s Growth, Innovation & Leadership congress aims to tackle some of the most challenging issues through insights and best practice identification from Frost & Sullivan’s analyst team and some of the sectors leading organisations.

Track 6: Healthcare & Life Sciences

Innovation in Healthcare Technology is altering the way that modern medicine is practiced. In the 1950s, ‘best practice’ was regarded as the gold standard for high-quality care. At that time, diagnosis and treatment promised to improve survival rates. But today’s developments in the field of genetics, information technologies, and nanotechnology are enforcing a more individualised approach to healthcare – often outside the hospital setting. Concepts such as ‘the average patient’ are now viewed as outdated. and standards within modern medical systems are measured by different parameters, including: patient access to the best-available treatments and to non-institutionalised care; compliance with treatments; and, even – patient choice. Inevitably, healthcare systems have to address the new challenges posed by medical and scientific advancement – and, more specifically, by the rise of user-centric healthcare and patient empowerment. The trend towards consumerdriven healthcare is already here. Today’s patients conduct personal research on their own medical conditions. Health tourism surges, with patients travelling far and wide to get the best-possible or cheapest medicine. The tendency is bound to continue, given the low satisfaction rates with healthcare systems reported by patients and the public. One thing is certain. Attitudes, systems, and policies will all change in healthcare over the next decade. The Healthcare Industry Track will discuss many ambitious ideas about possible developments in the field of healthcare. These glimpses into the future of healthcare, provided by leading health, technology and innovation experts, project a fascinating new world of possibilities that could become very real within the next few years.

Track 7: Information & Communication Technologies

Cloud Computing in the New Networked World Cloud computing can support companies in overcoming mission-critical challenges enabling achievement of strategic and operational goals in the new networked world through: collaboration; flexible business processes; and efficiency.To-date, most cloud computing projects have been driven by a cost-based business case. Also, deployments have been done within organisational silos (e.g. a specific department or subsidiary). In the future, Frost & Sullivan believes that the focus for cloud computing deployments will be value based and increasingly enterprise-wide. To move in this direction, organisations will generally have to acknowledge the increasing need to communicate and network across and beyond their own organisations. As such, Frost & Sullivan believes cloud computing is a critical enabler for the “networked organisation”. This Industry Track will look into the Cloud Computing concept, with discussions about how it will impact organisations in any industry across key functional areas. The content of the Track will highlight current-day insights about how Cloud Computing is being leveraged and provide perspectives on how its potential can best be leveraged going forwards.
