George Colony (CEO of Forrester Research) noted the following on his post-Davos blog:
I always go to Davos with one question to ask all of the luminaries. This year’s question was: “Coming out of the recession, what is your number one priority?” Nearly every leader answered the question in a similar way: “Focus on growth.” As one executive said: “My organization has been hunkered down for two years—now is the time to get moving again.” I think that’s about as bullish a signal as I could have imagined coming out of Davos.
Can’t come fast enough as far as I’m concerned!
