Featured Video – Wim Elfrink on Cisco’s Globalization Strategy

July 22nd, 2009 Posted in Video

There are quite a few short videos online with lessons learned by business leaders, often through painful experience. I”ll be showing some of the more interesting ones here.

Wim Elfrink on Cisco’s Globalization Strategy. The metrics around growth and opportunity are particularly interesting. These kinds of global competitiveness measures are not often discussed in the US, even though a lot of people feel that they are there.

About

I work with business leaders and investors to develop breakaway growth and innovation strategies that deliver high-return outcomes.

Over the last 15 years, I have achieved this by developing and introducing new business models and technologies to new marketplaces, occasionally creating the ecosystem in the process. My clients include 30 Global 1000 companies, 60+ startup companies, three national governments and several widely known foundations.

My current focus is on business ventures that take advantage of the acceleration in the design/build/delivery cycle combined with technology convergence around power/bandwidth/miniaturization. I also continue to work with companies where I have board positions, advising them on business and technology strategies.

I'm always open to discussing new ventures or opportunities. Feel free to contact me at chris [at] chrismaresca [dot] com or via one of the social networks I am on:
