World Economic Forum

WEF 2011 Spotlight

Investments in mobile technologies, collaboration tools and communication systems have unleashed the potential of emerging economies, global talent and pervasive technologies. However, companies must find answers to realize further benefits.

Can it unleash the next level of growth? Do existing organizational structures and governance mechanisms support technological and social development? Infosys hosted a roundtable discussion on 'Building tomorrow's enterprise: What are the new growth drivers?' at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2011.

David Kirkpatrick, author of the book ‘The Facebook Effect: The Inside Story of the Company that is Connecting the World’, moderated the roundtable comprising Tim Brown of Ideo, Marc Benioff of Salesforce.com, Michael Mack of Syngenta, Rajat Gupta of the International Chamber of Commerce, and Kris Gopalakrishnan of Infosys Technologies.

The panel identified how companies can ensure sustainable growth and equitable social advancement:

• Create platforms for open communication and collaboration
• Expand the Research and Development (R&D) footprint globally
• Build social strategies into the business model
• Engage in a continuous dialogue with stakeholders
• Empower communities with access to real-time information
• Strengthen public-private partnerships and adopt business growth models in social sectors
