Growth, Innovation, OPPORTUNITY

With 93 percent of CEOs reporting that growth is their number one priority, it’s no wonder our global Growth, Innovation and Leadership (GIL) community continues to grow. Participation is on the rise. During the last three months, members gathered in Africa, Silicon Valley, India, China and the Middle East to focus on identifying growth opportunities, a necessary first step. But taking effective action to leverage those opportunities is the key to success and can be the difference between failing, surviving and growing. GIL Global's Visionaries, Innovators and Leaders collaborate, sharing best practices on what’s working and helping you take advantage of the opportunities presented—from Mega Trends to emerging markets.

Whether leveraging new technology or discovering new uses for existing technology, identifying new ways of doing business in an existing market or expanding into new markets, cultivating growth is a worthy and challenging endeavor. As the year draws to a close and your growth team focuses not only on the identification but the implementation of your company’s growth initiatives for 2012, I hope the articles below and participation in the Frost & Sullivan global GIL community will help you realize your growth goals in the coming months and year.

Sincerely,



David Frigstad
Chairman
