Global Redesign Initiative
Today, in the aftermath of the economic crisis, it’s clear that a return to “business as usual” is not enough. Increased global cooperation is vital for economic recovery and renewal, and in removing barriers the Forum to live up to its commitment to “improve the state of the world”. The only way issues will be positively addressed and solutions put in place is through the involvement of business as a key stakeholder. Global Redesign is the Forum’s challenge to its communities to help enhance that cooperation across sectors, industries, and disciplines. It works as the intellectual fibre that networks the Forum’s communities, multiplying the impact of its activities and initiatives. In many respects, Global Redesign is just the networking of what the Forum already does. The Global Redesign process is integrating the Forum’s diverse communities through a series of meetings and activities structured to promote integrated thinking and develop concrete proposals to update and upgrade structures of international cooperation in a wide range of areas.

The World Economic Forum was founded on the idea of bringing business together with its stakeholders in the belief that common challenges could only be solved together. In the forty years of the Forum’s history, those challenges – like the Forum itself – have become global.
