Dear Colleagues,
With less than a month to go in 2009, all enterprises are focused on growth strategies for 2010 and beyond. With that in mind, in this issue of the Growth, Innovation and Leadership (GIL) eBulletin we have invited various partners and Frost & Sullivan industry experts to share their insights on the topic of competitive intelligence and competitive strategy, which is always critical to building top-line growth.
The thought leadership shared at GIL Global Congresses resonates year round.
Make sure to check in with the last summaries of the industry think tanks from this year’s hugely successful Growth, Innovation and Leadership Congress in Arizona, also in this issue.
Our GIL program is a comprehensive solution that includes the GIL Global Congress events, this GIL eBulletin, the Chairman's Series on Growth web casts and our Growth Partnership Services (among other tools and resources).
We invite you to begin your exploration here:
Best Regards
David Frigstad
Chairman
