Unstructure

The new normal - Unstructure 2010

The comforting news is that the recession is almost on its last legs. The not-so-comforting news is that it has left us grappling with sweeping changes - new consumers, changed consumption patterns, new growth drivers, new sources of innovation and new uses of technology. In other words, a new normal.

Unstructure 2010 will attempt to cover all dimensions of the New Normal - and the end result would be to arrive at a framework which would help us navigate the changed environment. From what makes the new changed consumer tick, new role of employees and leadership, the new definition of business risk to a relook at the euphoria surrounding Globalized Innovation - let's attempt to dimension the New Normal and challenge the status quo.
