Daily Davos: 2015 a critical year

Grüezi mittenand! Your final daily from Davos. I’ll be back on Friday with a regular weekly update.    On the agenda This is a critical year. Social issues are now competing withmilitary, intelligence and cybersecurityconcerns.  For business, the global economic outlook is fragile. But companies can thrive by committing to a social agenda and understanding the competitive benefits of diversity. Davos Co-Chairs are in agreement: we need collaboration on common issues. The global village may have its challenges. But humanity will always be united by culture and music.   Davos in the news Six powerful women at Davos you may not know but should.(Fortune) Misconceptions and expectations. (Deutsche Welle) Who said what this week? (CNBC) One reason Davos matters? Gender on the agenda.
