Session Type: Keynote - EMEA

Leaders have traditionally been viewed as captains of industry, standing on the deck of a ship, peering deep into the horizon of the future, and setting a long-term course. Unfortunately, managing in today’s volatile markets feels more like driving a race car in the fog hurtling forward into a turbulent future with limited visibility. Based on a 10 year research project, this session covers three themes. First, turbulence does not equal the current downturn. Market volatility preceded the current recession, and will remain after the economy recovers. Second, turbulence produces opportunities to create value as well as threats to existing businesses. Third, managers can take a series of steps to seize the upside of turbulence. Please note that Gartner is neither responsible for, nor endorses the content of guest speaker presentations.
