As a strategic partner of the World Economic Forum, BCG participated in the Forum's Annual Meeting 2012 in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland. The official theme of this year's meeting was "The Great Transformation: Shaping New Models," a topic designed to inspire collaboration and shared solutions to global, regional, and industry challenges.
BCG president and CEO Hans-Paul Bürkner moderated a high-profile public panel session with the CEOs of several organizations on "The Global Business Context." Additionally, BCG and the Confederation of Indian Industry cohosted a meeting on the topic "Are You Ready for Asia?" that featured BCG's David Michael along with a number of Asian business leaders.
Partnering with Google, we also launched the new BCG report, The Digital Manifesto: How Companies and Countries Can Win in the Digital Economy. And BCG had a role in six sessions related to ongoing collaborative projects with the Forum, including on topics such as Chinese globalizers, emerging-market financial services, mobile financial services readiness, non-communicable disease and healthy living, redefining personal data, and responsible mineral development.
