Identifying and understanding the forces shaping tomorrow's business landscape is essential to a company's ability to survive and thrive. In a world facing scarcity and upheaval at unprecedented levels, this is perhaps truer now, than ever. An examination of the trends shaping business takes place within this wider context of dwindling food, water and energy resources and increasing social, political and economic turbulence. Scarcity and upheaval galvanize innovation, and this FT executive dinner will identify and examine some of the very latest thinking on these questions, and the technological and business process innovations that will help make your business a better business - in the fullest sense of the word.

Springboard discussion topics:

• Scarcity is everywhere: How is business transforming itself to produce a profit that doesn't cost the earth?
• The changing workforce: The 'Millennials' are on their way, and they bring with them a whole new set of workforce expectations and dynamics. What are the implications for business of this changing demographic?
• Better insights for better decisions: We generate Exabytes of data every day, data which offers insights to do business better; how do you harness this information in a meaningful way?

Chaired by Gillian Tett, US Managing Editor & Assistant Editor, Financial Times, this curtain-opener dinner to the WEF sessions is designed for a cross-sector audience of WEF C-suite level delegates interested in examining the corporate trends and global forces creating better business.

Places at this elite dinner are limited and by invitation only. Additional senior applicants will be considered for invitation subject to availability of places.
