SUMMARY:International Business Webinar Series: "Multinationals’ Continued Strive for Local Relevance in an Era of Disruption"
DESCRIPTION:A new world order is in place. Globalization is taking a different turn and evolving further. Businesses operate in a deeply interconnected yet polarized world\, facing disruptions at multiple levels. Local relevance is one of the pillars for companies to maintain resilience and to thrive during times of turbulence. \nHow do multinationals win with local consumers\, customers and stakeholders? What are some of the critical enablers for success in the face of a VUCA environment and scarcity of resources? Where do you centralize and how much do you localize to create scale and maintain focus? What is the impact of talent\, organizational structure and culture to drive global scale and local relevance? \nToday’s radical change in context requires us to review and refresh past learnings on some of the questions which have been discussed for decades. Recycling our knowledge might be helpful as we design the next phase of global business where the dichotomy of local and global is becoming both blurred and further contrasted. \nKey take-aways:\n• Gain insights into how multinationals operate in local settings\n• Learn about different approaches in adapting global value propositions\n• Obtain learnings on talent\, structure and culture in leading and executing multinational operations

It was inside this work that Thomas carved his credo\, “This world is too small for less than brotherhood\, too dangerous for less than truth.” \nThe original score for Steffen Thomas: Rock & Chisel is composed by David Kirkland Garner and performed by Phillip Bush (piano) and Claire Bryant (cello). Michael Bruno is the Director of Photography and the film was edited by Will Eccleston for Kinetiscape Films. It’s directed by Jesse Stephen Freeman for Milk Crate Films. \nSee film trailer here. \nSee Georgia Public Broadcasting airing schedule here.

SUMMARY:Black History Month 2023 - The Power of Storytelling (Trip to Georgia Writers Museum)
DESCRIPTION:Every February\, Black History Month recognizes the accomplishments\, contributions\, and legacy of African Americans in U.S. history and society\, from activists and civil rights pioneers to leaders in business\, politics\, academia\, culture\, and more. \nThe Consulate General of Switzerland in Atlanta regularly engages in the Black History Month celebrations to honor the importance of African Americans in shaping the American nation. This year\, we want to highlight the transformative power of storytelling and its potential to raise awareness and bring about change for a social cause. Throughout human history\, stories and narratives have been an essential way of connecting with an audience and appealing to hearts and minds. They enable us to understand a different experience of the world\, and thus enhance our empathy. In the struggle for social justice and equality\, storytelling was\, and still is\, of particular importance to the history of Black people. \nIn this context\, the Consulate General of Switzerland in Atlanta organizes a field trip to the Georgia Writers Museum in Eatonton\, GA\, on February 18\, 2023\, 10am-5pm EST. Hop on the bus (at Atlanta’s Arts Center MARTA station) and visit the hometown of Joel Chandler Harris\, who compiled and adapted African American folktales (Uncle Remus stories)\, and Alice Walker\, who is known as one of the most distinguished African American writers of our time. The Georgia Writers Museum in Eatonton will open its doors and take visitors on a guided tour offering a glimpse of the state’s rich African American literary heritage. \nThe group will depart from Atlanta at 10am and return around 5pm. The ticket cost of $40 includes a complimentary lunch\, the bus ride\, and the guided literary tour.
