The Davos Question
Jan 18, 2008
The World Economic Forum's (WEF) annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland opens in less than a week and, while some critics question the gathering's effectiveness, no one doubts its ability to attract prominent world leaders from the public and private sectors.
This year's theme will challenge Davos participants to consider "The Power of Collaborative Innovation." To put that concept to the test, organizers have teamed up with YouTube to share brief interviews with some of the participants, including the CEOs of Deloitte, DuPont, Infosys. There are also clips from AT&T's CEO Randall Stephenson, AMD's CEO Hector Ruiz and Cisco Systems' CEO John Chambers, which we've added to the Media Vault.
There's also a YouTube channel where anyone can post a response to "the Davos question:" What one thing do you think countries, companies or individuals must do to make the world a better place in 2008?
Viewers can vote for their favorite clips, and the highest-rated videos will be screened for participants at the WEF meeting where responses will be recorded and uploaded to YouTube as well. There are already a wide range of responses from individuals -- we selected two for the Media Vault. For more info on how you can submit your own response by the January 21 deadline, visit YouTube.
