Accenture Global Convergence Forum 2007

11-13 April, 2007 in Rome, Italy

 
 
Overview
 



For almost two decades, the Accenture Global Convergence Forum has gathered business and thought leaders to exchange views on today’s most pressing issues. With an ideal mix of top-caliber speakers, strategic content and interactive formats the Forum helps move global business into the future.

This year, the Forum focused on achieving high performance through innovation and competitiveness. Profitable innovation requires turning insights into products, services and experiences that appeal to customers on a consistent basis. These innovations must then be supported by sophisticated, competitive business capabilities. In addition, successful innovation requires the ability to break into new business arenas that are ripe for growth and at the same time to manage a changing enterprise. Our concept of innovation extends beyond new offerings and new businesses to include leading management methods and fresh approaches to selling. You will leave the three-day program armed with strategies to compete more effectively in a convergent and constantly changing marketplace.
