I have always wanted to attend the World Economic Forum in Davos—especially as I had a leadership training business in Switzerland for a number of years—but could never figure out how to wangle an invitation. If anyone can give me an answer, I would like to hear from you.

The 2006 Forum was just held in January with 100 plus CEOs and government leaders gathering to discuss world issues. There are many interesting webcasts and podcasts of these sessions. http://gaia.unit.net/wef/worldeconomicforum_annualmeeting2006/default.aspx

This year the theme was the creative imperative—harnessing private corporation’s capabilities to deal with public issues like hunger, malaria, and basic education in developing countries. I think the Masterful Coaching CollabLab process would be perfect for groups to generate innovative solutions to global challenges. The CollabLab is a process that brings together people to discuss the big themes and brainstorm action.
