Submission should explore:

Taking care of BUSINESS The new opportunities, and the increased urgency, to justify and demonstrate the value, contribution, impact and relevance of our work as the world reviews its priorities in the wake of the global economic crisis How we contribute to lowering risk, driving innovation, increasing relevance, and maximizing return on investments

Taking CARE of business Our ability to re-frame business models and objectives in the post-crunch world, and in so doing restoring and reviving business

Our ability to humanize business and make it sensitive to people and cultures

How our work can enable us to learn from where business and commerce have gone wrong, and contribute to establishing more sustainable relationships between business and society

EPIC 2009 sees the current atmosphere of uncertainty and re-evaluation ushered in by the world economic upheaval as an exciting opportunity to look afresh at how we both contribute to and shape the ends and objectives of industry and business.
