 After 15 years as a CNN journalist, Dick Wilson examines the exciting history and dynamic present challenges of a major international news network, from the insider's perspective. He will show you how the lessons learned in 20 years of global CNN expansion can quickly benefit your fast-expanding global business. And he'll show you how one simple rule from Ted Turner helped create a global mindset for success among thousands of employees. He examines how to overcome the many pitfalls to successful globalization of a business of any size. Then, using a wider lens, he'll show you why globalization is unfairly attacked by protesters of many varieties. It's an approach based on fear rather than the facts. Globalization is now an unstoppable world economic force. Global business now finds itself at the cutting edge of change -- and must stand ready to accept the challenge of leadership toward a better future for all. As CNN's Technology Correspondent, Dick Wilson traveled worldwide to report breaking news and feature stories for Science & Technology Week, Future Watch, and The CNN Computer Connection. He searched for interesting new trends and practical applications of technology. He's covered a gas station with no attendant; a 3-D body scanner for military uniforms; a car that drives itself coast to coast. Currently, Mr. Wilson is working on international media consulting at WorldBizWatch which advises global Fortune 500 firms on working with the media, focusing on helping executives feel comfortable in dealing with the news media while keeping their own message in the forefront.
