TRENDS, FORECASTS 2005

We're putting together a list of the
"TOP TRENDS AND FORECASTS FROM THE TOP PEOPLE IN THE PROFESSION."


If you're reading this, you're probably one of the "top" people.

We want to know:

1. WHAT ARE THE TOP TRENDS, ISSUES, CHALLENGES OR OPPORTUNITIES FACING THE PROFESSION?
(They may be anything you are personally aware of or passionate about -- Economic, Tax, Managerial, Political, Competitive, Global, Regulatory, Technological, Sociological, and/or etc.)

2. WHAT ARE YOUR EXPECTATIONS FOR 2005?
(What kind of year will it be for the profession? Good or Bad? What kind of surprises may erupt? What's the best that could happen? The worst?)

3. WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT IT?
(Considering the Trends and Forecasts, what are you doing about it? What should the profession do?)

Participants will get a special summary of the responses, which some may find useful for their own strategic thinking for 2005.

If you'd rather talk than email, please feel free to call Rick Telberg at (914) 837-6458.

Responses are already rolling in. Check out the COMMENTS link below to see the latest. [I apologize in advance to the contributors for any typos. We're working fast and on-the-fly on this project.]

Thanks!
