World Trends and Cultural Power Seven Experts on the Near Future

The seven experts who made this book have hundreds of years of practical change work within corporations and sets of clients. Yet what we all share is the desire to frame next generation leaders that are capable of responding to a growing and accelerated set of changes in world trends. We cover changes in corporate strategy, investment trends, technology, supply chain--as described in Bruce Piasecki's Wealth and Climate Competitiveness and his now classic 2007 boook WORLD INC. What brought all of us together is a generous leader Darryl Vernon Poole whose clients list includes national security, the White House, and many many corporations and educational sites like MIT.

Look over the table of contents to see how we address critical issues like supply chain, the challenges of Putin and China to global capitalism, and outstanding issues that are structural to our near future
