Four City GlobalTalk Series to Address the Importance of Enterprise Fluency™ for Multinational Organizations to Compete in Today’s Global Economy

Following its recent worldwide launch of the GlobalEnglish Suite--a cloud-based, enterprise software platform designed to help companies communicate, collaborate and operate optimally--GlobalEnglish Corporation (www.GlobalEnglish.com), the first provider of on-demand software to advance Enterprise Fluency™ for global organizations, will host the worldwide invitation-only GlobalTalk event series in England, France, Japan and Brazil this month. The series will bring together global executives who are looking to optimize the outcomes of their organizations' operations and teams through Enterprise Fluency™-the communication, collaboration and operational proficiency that companies must have to compete in today's global economy. Presenters from a variety of industry-leading global corporations will discuss the importance of effective communications as a foundation for high-performance organizations.

During GlobalTalk 2011, business leaders who are responsible for improving organizational performance will learn how their peers are developing more effective cross-border business communication and collaboration, and how to create an action plan for advancing Enterprise Fluency within their organizations. GlobalEnglish will showcase the company's new on-demand software suite of innovative products that incorporate robust Business English applications for social collaboration, mobile productivity, on-the-job support, formal and informal learning, and the ability to evaluate and measure usage and proficiency improvements. These tools are uniquely equipped to help global companies address the complexities that arise from globalization.

The International Monetary Fund forecasts that 70 percent of world growth over the next few years will come from emerging markets, with China and India accounting for 40 percent of that growth. By 2020, Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC) are expected to account for nearly 50 percent of all global GDP growth. Yet, while 92 percent of non-native English-speaking global employees say communicating in English is critical for their jobs, only a tiny fraction (7 percent) strongly agree that their current English skills are sufficient to do their job, according to a Globalization of English report from a 2010 survey of 26,000 global employees in 152 countries.
