<span style="color: navy; font-family: Californian FB; font-size: medium;">  </span><span style="color: navy; font-size: medium;">In 1993, Joan worked for a company that was "going global". </span>

<span style="color: navy; font-size: medium;"> North American based, her corporation started to buy up companies around the world. Ten years later, they had operations in 63 countries. But - were they global? </span>

<span style="color: navy; font-family: Californian FB; font-size: medium;"> In the midst of a </span><span style="color: navy; font-size: medium;"> global economy</span><span style="color: navy; font-family: Californian FB; font-size: medium;">, common sense tells us that to be competitive we have to be global too - right? </span><span style="color: navy; font-size: medium;"> "Going Global?" looks at the challenges of creating a global company from its most important aspect - People. </span>

<span style="color: navy; font-size: medium;"> The presentation looks at the following key questions: · What is a "global" company? · Who are they - are there any? · If you are going global - how does it affect the people that really matter - Your Employees, Your Customers, and Your Shareholders? </span>
