    The tools we present in this first of a series of special reports on bringing global trends alive in your organization today focus on:

    2. Who is Shaping Your Future?

    3. Rethinking the Basis of Firm Advantage:  Mapping Capabilities From the Outside-In: In this changing environment an important challenge for any firm is to understand the strengths and vulnerabilities of its traditional position and to consider where it wants to position itself for the future. A critical, but difficult step, is building an understanding of the firm-level capability choices required to prepare the firm for the future. This tool focuses on how you can build an understanding of the critical capabilities you will need to succeed in interconnected market spaces, from an outside-in perspective.
