Powerful Times
Rising to the Challenge of our Uncertain World

Book Launch
featuring Eamonn Kelly, CEO, Global Business Network

November 30, 2005

 

Are you and your organization ready for the world that is about to unfold?

You're invited to join Global Business Network and Monitor Networks to celebrate Eamonn Kelly's new book, Powerful Times, which explores this question head-on.

We're not just living through an age of change, Eamonn asserts, we're experiencing a change of age--what may be the most significant inflection point in human history since the Enlightenment. Yet, as the old world unravels, are we prepared to challenge our deepest beliefs and biases, honed through five centuries of history? Can we learn to embrace the paradoxes of change from a both/and perspective instead of defaulting to overly simplistic either/or mentalities? Will we transform this moment of uncertainty and complexity into unprecedented opportunity, forging a new sense of the global "we" as we create the future together? Eamonn weaves a compelling story of our Powerful Times and the profound possibilities that lie ahead.
