Experts predict that business will change more in the next
10 years than it has in the last 50 years. The Internet
Revolution is turning competition upside down. Worker's
expectations are changing. Windows of opportunity are
narrowing to "razor slits" of opportunity.
It is critical for business and government to prepare for
the future. We must take advantage of new discoveries
and turn them into job-producing companies that will
fuel our economy. Together, we can conquer the challenges
of the new millennium and succeed - at high velocity.
