Most organizations are in a strong cost-reduction mode, fighting this fierce global economic recession. But will this frugality be enough to enable organizations to profit from the upturn that will eventually arrive? More and more evidence is emerging that we are experiencing more than a simple recession and that important economic and business transformations are taking place. Indeed, organizations need to invest in their own transformation, to anticipate the future and guarantee long-term survival.

At Sogeti's Executive Summit, we shall explore the organization of the 21st century over the course of two intense days, with stimulating presentations from visionary thought leaders and inspiring discussions with fellow executives.

* What does it take to create an organization that is ready for the challenges of the 21st century?

* What new behaviors must organizations learn, and maybe more importantly, what old behaviors do they have to abandon?

* How can we ensure that IT matters in this transition and beyond?
