We hear a great deal about being “global” these days but maybe we should question this! Not just those of us who travel the globe, but all of us. We all need to be more “worldly”. To be Worldly is to be worldly-wise, as it is sometimes called. This means: “experienced in life, sophisticated, practical.” Imagine companies like this! These discussions are designed to get you thinking about striking a balance between being global and being worldly.

The objectives for today’s session are to:

  • Understand what “global” means
  • Appreciate that many companies have to be more “worldly”, and not just more global
  • Develop a sense of how you and your company can become more worldly
