Day 2
The opening session featured a dynamic pre-
sentation from Jim Collins revealing the secrets
behind enduring companies. He was followed
by Jack Welch in typically iery form, ofer-
ing candid insights on topics ranging from
management, to the economy to politics.
Martin Lindstrom had the audience captivated
with his entertaining and revealing presenta-
tion of the power of neuromarketing, while
Charlene Li discussed the implications for or-
ganizations of the growth of social networks.
Carlos Brito, the Brazilian CEO of Anheuser-
Busch InBev, talked about how his company’s
performance culture plays such an important
role in its success, while SAP co-CEO Bill Mc-
Dermott gave his insights on doing business in
the new reality. To inish the day bestselling
author Joseph Grenny revealed his six sources
of inluence before David Gergen , advisor to
four US Presidents, gave his insights on to-
day’s new leadership challenges.
Day 2 kicked of with two contrasting economists.
First up was Steve Levitt – bestselling author of
Freakonomics – whose entertaining presentation
looked at the lessons business can learn from eco-
nomics and vice versa. Then came Nobel Prize
winner Joseph Stiglitz in conversation with Carol
Massar of Bloomberg TV, ofering his predictions
on the future prospects for the global economy.
INSEAD’s Renée Mauborgne and Tuck’s Vijay Go-
vindarajan gave their insights on strategy and in-
novation, while A.G. Laley discussed his applica-
tion of open innovation during his time as CEO
at P&G. Former Vice President Al Gore gave an
impassioned speech about the need for urgent
action to curb climate change, while plane crash
survivor Nando Parrado had the audience on its
feet with his incredibly emotional tale of survival
in the most extreme circumstances. The event
closed on a high with James Cameron , the world’s
most commercially successful ilm director dis-
cussing the importance of leadership and creative
vision in any successful enterprise.
What follows serves as a record of these two unique and thought provoking days.
