The Occasion for our Event
2008 kicks off CEB’s first ever annual conference series. Designed to unite our premier network around broad-reaching topics, you and your cross-functional colleagues will be able to simultaneously shift gears at the right moment, in the right direction. We’re taking our traditional Executive Retreats a step further by bringing experts from individual functions into a collaborative conversation to holistically address today’s top challenges.
During an unusual time in the global economy, the people who sit in the executive chair have shared with us particular concerns. We’ve found across the 15,000 executives in our worldwide network that complicated times tend to create a strategic reordering in many industries and missteps can be fatal. Companies that win in complex economic times decisively allocate resources to prepare to weather the downturn while not forgetting to position themselves for the unique opportunities a downturn affords.
Topics and Events
Our two-day engagement with topical experts and cross-functional panelists gives you exclusive access to the leading strategies on the challenges of budget allocation, workforce planning, and customer attraction and retention during a down global economy. Tap into our premier network of executives to help you and your company uncover growth opportunities and rapidly respond to difficult circumstances.
