2012 Symposium
World Forum for Ethics in Business: 27th – 28th November 2012
European Parliament, Brussels
International Leadership Symposium 2012:
Capitalism – but not reloaded?!
A systemic crisis and its consequences
2011 was a year of revolutions. The Arab Spring, technology changing fate of nations (eg. Egypt), the common man standing up for his rights in India, the world‘s biggest democracy. 2011 was also the year when history came back to haunt us with the epic crisis in Europe.
Many signs point to 2012 witnessing an acceleration of the negative economic and fiscal metrics that plagued advanced and major emerging economies in 2011. Is 2012 shaping up to be the blockbuster main event of the on-going financial crisis or will the on-going interventions of both, public and private sector, show positive results? Has capitalism failed as a whole? What has led to this crisis of epic proportions? What are the lessons to be learnt and what are the solutions?
The 2012 edition of the International Leadership Symposium of the World Forum for Ethics in Business looks at the current global situation as a systemic crisis which can only be solved with a holistic view on all stakeholders. The Symposium therefore aims to allow major stakeholders from all sectors to have a fresh look at the current political and economic paradigms. It aims to challenge existing belief systems with the clear objective to identify a roadmap that allows for a sustainable future. In these most challenging times, is the focus on human values and ethics an indispensable key to overcoming the crisis? How could this approach be integrated in governance in private and public institutions? What is the leadership style that can pave the way for a sustainable future?
