Tonight I attended a talk on globalisation and the effects on the west (mainly from a North American view point).

.

It was primarily a discussion on the different drivers communication, culture and context in working with companies in India and China. Also challenging us as to why we cannot ignore what is happening. It was enlightening to say the least. I am sure for some in the audience it was a little scary. New Brunswick isn't the most competitive place in the world.

.

At the end of the talk Ian Cavanagh (the presenter) connected to youtube.com and showed us this short video called ShiftHappens ....."OH MY GOD", food for thought, scary and exciting at the same time, of course in the midst of difficulties you will find opportunities if you look hard enough. By our very nature the Expat community is well placed to take advantage of some of the opportunities.

So watch the video and as it says pass it on!
