Because the world dislikes change and yet it is the only thing that brings progress.

In this age of globalization, where the pace of change keeps accelerating, Confluence 2005 explores the economic, political and social forces faced by management today.

An oil shock can sink an entire economy. Emergence of new technologies can change the face of an industry. An ongoing war in a distant country could put your business on the global map - nothing is implausible.

In order to successfully lead organizations in an increasingly integrated global arena, the leader-managers of tomorrow must identify opportunities where others see only uncertainty.

Confluence 2005 adopts a holistic approach to tackling an uncertain tomorrow and takes a look at the challenge of achieving a consonant rhythm in a rapidly changing world.
