Speech Topic: It's Global Consumerization, Stupid! This is not the first time that the world is globally-sensitive. Way back, Rome was a global reality in the form of the "Pax Romana." Back at the turn of the 20th Century passports were not required and international trade was easier and more normal than today. The really exciting and dynamic emerging reality is Global Consumerization – the trend to involve virtually all humans to some degree or another in the consumer reality. Krubski, an Argentine-born child of Polish expatriate parents brings his unique multi-national understanding to bear on the key issue of importance to your company's global future: Global Consumerization.

Krubski connects the dots between evolving cultural trends and paints a picture of the impact they have on shaping the Next Economy and the Next Society.
