Invitation to Rapaport Basel Presentation
Monday, March 30, 2008 – 8:00-10:00 or 14:00-16:00
Dear Friends,
The global economic crisis is having a major impact on the diamond industry. The situation is severe and may get worse before it gets better. In fact, we are not experiencing a crisis but a move to a new reality.
Crisis implies that things will at some stage return to what they once were. That’s not going to happen. A new reality signals that when the dust settles the diamond business will not be the same. Our industry will be moving forward, confronting new realities, challenges and opportunities.
The key issue today is survival. How do we deal with an uncertain future? While there are more questions than answers, one thing is certain. We must think and d evelop strategically. Survival is not about who can cut a better diamond or create a better brand. It is about vision. Who can think better strategically and see the future from different perspectives.
Rapaport does not have mines, factories or stores. But we do have independent strategic perspective.
You are invited to our Basel Presentation. It’s free of charge--our way of trying to help you and our diamond and jewelry industry think through these difficult times. Space will be limited so RSVP now.
