Cooper's statement is even more relevant today than it was then with the exception of his reassurance that "no blood will be shed". With today's broken economy there will be blood in the water.

As president of AARM, I have been talking to a number executives all over North America, Malaysia and the Continent. This is what they are saying.....

Many of us if not most of us are in a situation of having to make decisions on the basis of insufficient information. Hardly a secure situation! In the times ahead we will be faced with the challenges of creating wealth and productivity in the face of diminishing market and resources and a contracted economy. This will require entrepreneurial creativity and competence on a new level.

We have felt the need for Executive Intelligence learning for the challenges of this current economic situation which many would call a crisis, but it will be a crisis only for those who are unprepared, an opportunity perhaps for those who are.

As well, to navigate the future, we need as much intelligence and information as possible. What is the content and form of the training required for the challenges of the future and how can we provide it? Much has been learned and applied productively. Now, that collective wisdom and experience needs to be further explored together with our colleagues. We need a new milieu and a new dynamic!

Over the past several years, author, colleague, friend, CEO, and sailor Paul Hennig along with Dr. Paul Leow and I have been examining and researching the field of corporate and executive intelligence.

During this time, our research together with the thinking of other executives with whom we have been consulting with has given us a sense of urgency to develop strategic executive learning workshops of a higher level in order to prepare us for the seismic shift in the economy, which is clearly before us. In order for us to view more deeply and critically examine the way our enterprises and companies, in order to insure not only our survival but also success in the face of the onslaught of the next decade.

Paul Hennig, Dr. Paul Leow and I will lead these workshops. We have been talking to a number of experts in various fields about the workshops. They have enthusiastically endorsed the agenda and total concept of the workshops and they have joined with us in the Navigator Executive Intelligence Faculty. They are authors, practitioners, executives, professors, CXO's. People like Anthony Keenan, Larry Filler, J. Ben Benjamin, Phil Olivieri, Julio Tavares, authors Linda Sharpe, Serge Grichmanoff, Marilyn Stewart, and Professor Margery Taylor. There will be others as we move forward with this work.

Our Navigator Executive Intelligence Workshops focus on the brain of the corporation and it's critical importance for corporate and personal survival in the face of the extreme challenges of our crashed economy.

These are some of the issues we will tackling head-on in the Navigator Workshops. I anticipate with great interest - the creative interaction with the members of the workshops and our thought leaders who will be contributing and facilitating these think tanks.

Each workshop will be summed up into a whitepaper. These whitepapers will be made available to all the workshop participants. Each workshop participant will become a member of the Navigator Executive Intelligence Council where you will have the opportunity to network with your fellow Council Members. It's mission - to advance the art and science of Executive Intelligence and to provide each participant with the council of the thought-leaders and fellow workshop members.

We felt the need for a unique milieu for these workshops, in order to give executives an opportunity to rise up to a new creative level difficult to achieve in the midst of the demands of your heavy everyday responsibilities.

Therefore, Workshop groups will meet in St. John's in the US Virgin islands in January, February and March. You can book into one or more of these workshop.

There are only 72 openings available so don't miss out on this extraordinary opportunity to shape the future. Reserve today with no obligation.

Yours Sincerely,

Robert T. Stacey
President AARM
