LinKS Global Reunion in Oslo

Despite the ash clouds from the volcanic eruptions in Iceland, LinKS Global Reunion on April 15 officially opened LinKS Norway.

The meeting qualified strategic discussions among multinational leaders. The cornerstones of the new economic circuits were discussed, bridging private and public decision makers into a strategic debate on what the drivers behind the global economic structures of the future.

The meeting identified three key learning lessons for future leadership:

Global partnerships
Future leadership has to focus on creating value by building global partnerships between public and private units - partnerships that creates customer value, and at the same time, act according to high standards both socially and environmentally.

The Time is Now!
Thus, green growth strategies must be developed, and the more you wait, the higher the risk that others will surpass you.  Nations and global partnerships that understand this agenda will become the future winners.

The Power of Knowing Who Knows
One of the most challenging questions for the future is to structure and optimize the relation capital to design new global value chains.

After having climbed the Oslo Opera House and enjoyed the magnificent and seemingly clear view from its top, the international participant field returned home by bus, car, train and ferry as far as to Italy and Spain.

Still Cool Wishes from Copenhagen
