Memo from EDWIN COHEN,CEO of GLOBALHR NewsMedia
Hello and Welcome to a unique learning experience. Get ready for a highly-interactive and stimulating education conference. I invite your participation on the October 12th conference-day and on October 11th in the evening GLOBALEADER EXECUTIVE ROUNDTABLE & DINNER.
To prepare for the October 11th evening event, please consider these timely questions and be prepared to discuss them with people at your table. Thank you.
WHAT DO CEOs EXPECT FROM HR LEADERSHIP TODAY ?
and...
WHAT'S the IMPACT of the INTERNET and INCREASING WORLD TRADE (Globalization) on LEADERSHIP PRACTICES?
October 12th general conference theme will be all about managing in the expanding World Trade economy, even if your company is basically domestic-oriented. With this in mind, please consider the following and be prepared to comment and learn new things. Thank you.
DO YOU HAVE A "GLOBAL MINDSET"?
IF YES, CAN YOU DEFINE IT AND MEASURE IT?
DO YOU KNOW IF YOUR CUSTOMERS HAVE A GLOBAL MINDSET?
WHAT IS YOUR ORGANIZATION'S CAPACITY RIGHT NOW FOR GLOBAL BUSINESS?
Having a GLOBAL MINDSET is fundamental to sustainable international business growth.
GLOBAL MINDSET can be defined this way:
Individual characteristics that help global leaders better influence individuals, groups, and organizations.... unlike themselves.
People who have a GLOBAL MINDSET within the organization would know their customers just as they might know their customers in a neighboring state or region. They have at least a basic understanding of things such as global cultures, language and global history.
As we know, the days of being able to rely on products and services selling themselves because they are "the best" or simply at the lowest-price are going away or already gone in most instances. Consumers/Buyers want to know that you at least know some basics ...such as "respect" for their culture and many would want to have a dialog... to get to know you and let you know something about themselves.
It seems like a good idea... however, many people in today’s workforce have little "cultural interest" outside their own country or region. Increasingly, as World Trade competition intensifies it is becoming all too visible.
As an independent business, GLOBALHR is able to be an advocate for change...for "next practices" and innovation... for the common good.
Intercultural Training Services are relatively inexpensive and quite practical when provided and integrated on a day-to-day basis. Organizations will reduce risk-of-failure and therefore save huge sums (possibly enhancing profitability as a result) due to instances of less error and of greater efficiency day-to-day.
Providing professional development skills and the resulting personal growth creates a greater Human Capital Asset. Intercultural Training is the #1 solution to the “problem” of doing business internationally.
Firms who can efficiently execute global strategic and operational advice (sales, customer services, communications, engagement, loyalty) are going to have advantages on their competition in the World Trade environment.
It is a perfect foundation and “integrative” not an “additive”… on which to build global strategy, operating processes, capital raising, restructuring, and merger/acquisition.
For your benefit, our conference Faculty is excellent; each has earned distinction in their field; and, they were selected because each has proven "presentation" skills. You will have a measurable "take-away" and via audience participation an enhanced "IQ".
I have organized this conference with the goal to help you and prepare you for a fast-start in 2011. If you have any questions or suggestions please know that I listen and I welcome your contact ... ed@globalhrnews.com
FINALLY:
Our objective for this conference is to enhance the group's "collective IQ" and encourage
Alignment & Collaboration across silos and across divisions with the C-suite objectives in order to get to the "Next Practices" innovation ...A NEW GLOBAL MINDSET.
UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTEE
You, as a delegate, will take-away practical information and techniques that work. Our Faculty has experience and practical know-how, in-depth knowledge, and proven delivery skills. And, if you do not meet new people who can help you and your business and/or if you cannot take-away practical guidance then I will credit your paid-registration to your choice of one GLOBALHR Conference worldwide. This is my promise to you. Questions? Please contact me...
