BUSINESSLeaders Summit 2011Changing Challenge - Challenging Change

'The changes that have happened in the last ten years are greater than what has happened in the previous 100 years' - Bill Gates.

Given such speed of change, the challenges faced by individuals, businesses and nations

push us to collectively challenge the changes that we have already made to survive. The

best example in the most recent times is the story of iPad. Within a year of the launch of the

iPad, Apple themselves had to challenge their own product, which one would have thought

to be a break through innovation. It is in this background we have sought international and

local speakers to share their thoughts from individual to a nation how survival is possible by

challenging changes in the changing

challenge environment.
