Dear Colleague,

It is my pleasure to extend this exclusive VIP invitation to join our community of senior executives who are seeking actionable

strategies, solutions, and growth processes that they can put to work in building a solid vision and strategy to drive growth.

Frost & Sullivan’s GIL event is the only Global Community of Growth, Innovation and Leadership and is a “must-attend” for

any organisation serious about improving its performance in growth, innovation and leadership.

This powerful event brings together a global network of today’s best thinkers, visionaries and thought leaders to deliver fresh

perspectives, innovative ideas, and practical solutions that will assist you in staying ahead of the curve.

Join us to examine the dynamics of growth and various tools and processes you can use to grow your business. Develop

relationships and participate in candid discussions focused on rethinking and strengthening your companies’ growth strategies.

Uncover new opportunities for growth applicable to virtually any economic climate. Identify structured processes you can

leverage to achieve your growth goals through real-world case examples, best practices, and key strategies you can employ.

I am also delighted that we will be welcoming many of our financial and professional services clients this year for a dedicated

track on Investment Opportunities in some of the most dynamic sectors of the economy, where we will identify and discuss

the most interesting themes, segments and stories for investment and acquisition across the corporate lifecycle.

Frost & Sullivan is honoured to host a distinguished roster of growth leaders sharing their insights and best practices. Join

us as we formally recognise their achievements at our 2012 Growth Excellence Awards Banquet, a veritable who's who of

the industry's premier growth companies and their leaders.

Whether you are a Growth Partnership Service subscriber, member of our Growth Team Membership programme or simply

frequent our best practice networking events, each one of our GIL Global programmes to date has been a sell out because

CEOs and their Growth Teams are not simply just attending GIL, they’re experiencing GIL; so please be sure you

and your colleagues confirm participation early.

I look forward to learning and benefiting from our combined experiences in shaping and driving our futures on a shared quest

for achieving growth, innovation and leadership.

Sincerely,

Aroop Zutshi

Global President & Managing Partner

AWARD

10:15 Growth Thought Leadership: VALUE LEAKAGE - THE

GREATEST THREAT TO PROFITABLE GROWTH

Speaker: Jeff Thull

CEO and President

Prime Resource Group, Inc.

If you are investing heavily in creating innovative and high-value solutions, but

are not seeing the profitable growth you expected, value leakage could be

sabotaging the execution of your strategy. Innovation is not complete until

your customers comprehend and invest in the total value of your solutions and

can accurately measure net profit impact. Translate your strategy into bottom-

line results.

Key Take-Aways:

• Examine how you may be innovating beyond your customer’s ability

to capitalise on your unique value

• Recognise how innovative value becomes fragmented and

commoditised

• Understand why customer net profit is at the heart of innovation

and growth

• Seven tough questions to bring your leadership team into alignment

ON INDUSTRIES, INVESTMENTS AND CAREERS

Facilitator: Sarwant Singh

Partner

Frost & Sullivan

Mega Trends are global, sustained and macroeconomic forces defining our future

world and its increasing pace of change. Mega Trends have diverse meanings and

impacts for different industries, companies and individuals. An analysis of these

Mega Trends and their implications forms an important component of a

company’s future strategy, development and innovation process, and impacts

product and technology planning. The objective of the workshop is to set the

stage for visionary thinking by learning how to leverage interactive tools to:

• Understand opportunities/threats arising out of future Mega Trends

and to prepare contingency plans based on probable scenarios

• Prioritise seeking future customers based on emerging Mega Trends

in new geographies, emerging economies, and new attitudes and

preferences of consumers

• Align future Mega Trends with your current vision and strategy

• Align current strategy to expected accelerating change in future

technology and needs of the “Customer of the Future”

• Learn the Macro to Micro methodology of applying Mega Trends and

uncovering the billion dollar Innovation opportunities

Structured industry groups will give you the opportunity to collaborate with

your industry's peers and Frost & Sullivan Growth consultants/analysts to

brainstorm on how to effectively capitalise on growth opportunities.

13:15 Growth Success Story: SMART INVESTING - SURVIVING

IN A WORLD OF VISIONARY INNOVATION

Growth Thought Leader: Andrew Calvert

VP Business & Financial Services

Frost & Sullivan

13:45 This session will comprise of 2 separate tracks:

A: Implementation Excellence - Aimed at Corporate Clients

B: Investment Opportunities - Aimed at Financial and Professional

Services Clients

A. Implementation Excellence Think Tank: IMPLEMENTATION

EXCELLENCE - LEVERAGING BEST PRACTICES FOR THE TOP

10 GROWTH PROCESSES

Facilitator: Gary Jeffery

Partner

Frost & Sullivan

CEOs report their greatest internal challenge to growth is "implementing the

growth strategy with the current management team." This interactive workshop

will provide a hands-on experience, exploring the top 10 growth processes while

providing delegates the opportunity to apply tools in a real-time exercise to

validate and benchmark their existing strategies against best-practice

implementation. Companies that master these tools will have a tremendously

powerful competitive advantage!

Key Take Aways:

• Understand the top 10 Growth Processes and how they are

implemented

• Learn how to benchmark your company with these best practices

• Gain insights to spark this programme in your own company

B. Investment Opportunities Think Tank: IDENTIFYING THE MOST

PROMISING AREAS FOR INVESTMENT AND ACQUISITION

Facilitator: Andrew Calvert

Vice President Business & Financial Services

Frost & Sullivan

With M&A volumes still depressed and large volumes of capital chasing too few

opportunities, the importance of proactively identifying investment theses and

building relationships with targets in advance of transactional opportunity has

never been greater. In this session we will profile some of the most interesting

themes, segments and stories we are seeing in some of the most dynamic sectors

of the economy, for investors and advisors across the corporate lifecycle.

The track will be segmented into three 30-minute sessions:

1. Cleantech & Green Energy

Chair: Alina Bakhareva

Research Manager – Renewable Energy

Frost & Sullivan

With strong fundamental drivers but uncertain government policy outlook and

huge variance in economics and prospects between renewable modalities across

their respective value chains, renewable energy can be a minefield for successful

investment. Similarly, themes like energy efficiency and smart grid are rippling

across the energy and industrial products sectors, and problems like energy

storage and next-generation batteries (particularly for electric vehicles) hold

huge potential for those who can innovate and commercialise most effectively.

2. Aerospace, Defence & Security

Chair: Diogenis Papiomytis

Principal Consultant, Aerospace, Defence & Security

Frost & Sullivan

As defence spending in G7 nations slows, many investors are turning away from

these sectors, but behind the macroeconomic picture and outside the developed

powers there is huge opportunity and strong structural growth, and themes like

big data have huge application in the sector. Commercial Aviation is under severe

pressure from fuel and tax costs, as well as increased competition from China,

but global passenger volumes look set to rise and will favour those with the right

exposures across the components, services, carrier operations and infrastructure

segments. Security is a theme that will remain high-profile across civil, military,

industrial, commercial and residential applications, with strong consolidation

drivers in the services industry as well as consistent innovation in technologies

around detection & identification, access control, biometrics and e-passport

implementation.

3. Specialty Chemicals

Chair: Bill Stringer

Principal Consultant, Practice Director, Chemicals

Materials & Foods

Frost & Sullivan

The specialty chemicals industry is undergoing sweeping change as manufacturers

increasingly move downstream and refocus businesses on end-user markets, but

with the huge diversity of products, chemistries and applications it can be difficult

to pick the winning players, particularly given turmoil in many of the end markets.

We expect accelerated transactional activity and robust valuations in a number

of key segments, as well as double-digit growth around key themes such as

fracking (from both a functional chemicals and water treatment perspective) and

continued innovation around the biochemicals trend impacting almost every

segment.
