POWERPOINT ONLY

• The industry’s fundamentals have changed and are now evolving down a very different future pathway
• There are new driving forces – we are more impacted by outside influences than ever before…
  • Competition from developing countries (and China) plus emerging technologies is escalating;
  • Economies remain in turmoil and are racked with uncertainty;
  • Energy bases & drivers are changing dramatically;
  • Fiber, land and water resources are being pressured globally…
• And as such those who work in this industry looking out must begin to secure a totally different foundation on which to base both their future and the decisions they will help make that will shape a ‘new direction” for the industry
