PWC -17th Annual Global CEO Survey. The talent challenge.Ann-Marie Johnson
The document discusses the talent challenges facing CEOs in light of major global trends or "megatrends" reshaping the business landscape. Key points:

This report analyzes practices for assessing and recognizing learning from Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) in Europe. It provides examples of how some higher education institutions and employers recognize or do not recognize non-formal learning from MOOCs. The report introduces an "open learning recognition traffic light model" to guide recognition decisions. It finds recognition of MOOC learning is still emerging but identifies factors that support recognition, such as robust assessment and formal credentials. The report concludes with recommendations to strengthen recognition of open and online learning in Europe.
Redefining Boundaries Government Point of ViewIBM Government
The document summarizes findings from IBM's Global C-suite Study, which surveyed over 5,000 executives including 347 from government organizations across over 50 countries. Key findings include:
- Industry convergence and new digital competitors are disrupting many industries and forcing companies to reassess business models.
- Both global executives and those in government see technologies like cloud, mobile, and cybersecurity posing major impacts and risks.
- While most executives rely on conventional techniques to identify trends, higher performing "Torchbearers" place greater emphasis on emerging technologies and customer feedback.
- When exploring new business models, government executives favored open and platform models but faced challenges deploying innovation.
