Can America Do it Again? Building a New National Growth Agenda
17 February, 2011 | (01 hr)
As the U.S. economy continues a slow and uneven recovery from the severe recession, government and business leaders are keenly focused on the need to spur faster growth in the years ahead. Independent studies by The Conference Board and the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) both show that if the United States is to regain the GDP growth of the last two decades, it needs to accelerate labor productivity growth to a rate not seen since the 1960s. Join this webcast for an analysis of U.S. productivity performance relative to that of other major economies, advanced and emerging. The discussion will also explore the opportunities for U.S. companies to implement existing best practices and emerging business and technology innovations. Finally, we will explore how to build an effective business-government agenda that addresses the broad issues standing in the way of fully capturing America’s productivity and growth potential.
Audience: This webcast will be of interest to Economists, CSO’s, CFO’s, and all executives in charge of organizational development and strategic planning.
