The future of business: Business beyond the horizon

• How to look around corners to make great business decisions during the biggest economic events ahead

“The financial crisis has killed the claim that economics deserves to be treated as a science. The measure of a science is its capacity to explain, predict and prescribe. And most economists not only failed to anticipate the nature and evolution of the catastrophe, but their conflicting recommendations on how to stabilise the situation exposed the unreliability of their knowledge.” Moises Naim, Editor, Foreign Policy.

Executives make poor business decisions because most do not have a very clear vision of the future. Dr. Erevelles will present a ground-breaking research on the ‘Future of business’ at a power evening organised by the Sri Lanka Institute of Directors in association with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka on the 18th of June 2013. This presentation will reveal how to precisely and accurately “look around corners” and “see beyond the horizon” to foresee economic and market events months, years and decades before they occur; and thus manage the future for your business and yourself. In doing so, he will show you how you can precisely predict the future of consumer markets, the stock market and the real estate market months, years and decades in advance. You can profit from the biggest economic opportunities and downturns in the future and Dr. Erevelles will show you how.  As importantly, he will explain how and when you should protect yourself, your family and your business from the ravages of major economic changes.

The primary goal of this seminar is to get businesses and individuals ready for the biggest economic events of our lifetime that are rapidly approaching us. All business people are concerned about the future, but most are unable to see past the short-term, and simply cannot foresee directional changes in the economy. These inflection points are where the potential for the greatest creation of wealth and the greatest risk of loss exists. Not anticipating directional changes in the economy and markets can have catastrophic effects on your personal portfolios and your business. In this seminar you will learn how to precisely identify the major economic events that are closing in on us, and prepare yourself and your business for them.  

Economists have dismal records forecasting the future, and many admit it. One is confronted with continually contradictory forecasts that are constantly revised, indicating that, as a group, economists have no idea where the economy is going. One reason is that they rely on extrapolation techniques that are only capable of linear projections and generally incapable of foreseeing directional changes in the economy. They also completely fail to understand the most powerful force that drives an economy’s future.

This seminar will show you how you can, with precision and certainty, foresee economic and market events months, years and decades in advance and profit from this foresight. You will know exactly when changes that will have enormous ramifications on your business and assets will occur, and how you should prepare for them.

A second goal of this seminar is to outline the “future of business strategy.” Dr. Erevelles will describe how the nature of business will change in the foreseeable future, and show you the business models to design an organisation that will thrive and dominate through the upcoming economic events. He will discuss the new rules that will dictate how wealth will be created and present a framework for constantly re-inventing your business before circumstances force you to do so. He will help you generate fresh perspectives, breakthrough ideas and new paradigms to create a future vision for your organisation.

Dr. Erevelles focus is on understanding the “future of business,” and has delivered seminars to top managers and government officials in North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa

Participants will get to see first-hand the events and trends that will shape our economy in the years ahead, understand the biggest economic opportunities and catastrophes closing in on us, learn how to position assets and business to take advantage of highly predictable changes in the economy, learn how to predict the performance of consumer markets, the stock market and real estate market months, years and decades in advance and gain insight into the inescapable events and trends that will shape our economy and financial destiny in the immediate and long-term future. In addition, they would be able to get a precise view of our economic future for the next 15 years and its implications for business, understand the single most powerful factor that affects the economy and our businesses, what should businesses do for the next 15 years and when should you do it, as well as when to sell and buy stocks and real estate in the foreseeable future, how to grow your wealth and business during directional changes in the economy and are we going to have inflation or deflation in the foreseeable future?

The event would also explain why gold may not be a good investment in the coming years, the future of business- business models and thinking for the future, designing the future for your organisation, re-inventing your business model and the management of the future.

The event will take place on 18 June 2013 from 5 to 7pm at the Ivy room, Cinnamon Grand Colombo.
