Consistency

Collaboration

In spite of globalization, there will be very significant differences between regions. Emerging markets differ considerably in their economic potential. Mature markets will see different demographic developments, where the favorable demographic profile of the US will help to spur growth; aging populations in Europe will inhibit it. Industries will target more products and services at aging populations, from investment advice to low-cost functional cars. In addition, the health care sector will grow substantially. Processes, firms, customers and supply chains will fragment as companies expand overseas, work flows where it is best done and as information digitizes. As a result effective collaboration will become more important.” With this background, the strategic planning group identified the strategic issues and objectives for our network. For each strategic objective, the strategic planning group defined key success factors and recommended action plans to achieve them. The plan is ambitious but necessary to lead our network to continued growth. Such growth will enable our member firms to continue serving clients with world class service and leading capabilities.
