The overarching
theme for WLA2006 is Beyond a World of
Numbers.
The Convention will revisit the many complex issues that
belie what appears to be a simple, straightforward world of numbers. It
will stretch our limits beyond known boundaries and offer a fresh take on the
issues that continue to challenge us.
SUB-THEMES Monday, 13 November
2006 One Game East Meets
West Corporations today operate in a global market.
Not only have their domestic markets become increasingly cosmopolitan; their
reliance on resources from diverse sources necessitates constant transactions
with suppliers around the world. On Day 1, we will tap into Oriental and
Western wisdom to garner best practices from both worlds to help us to engage
effectively with our new customer base and, with overseas associates to achieve
win-win situations across cultural differences.
Tuesday, 14 November 2006 Double Edge Lotteries face structural
changes that threaten to undermine their business positioning as well as
mounting pressures to generate more revenues for good cause funding. On
Day 2, we will explore the double edges, the Yin and the Yang of emerging
trends that affect lotteries. Can lotteries resist the tide of technological
change that break down national boundaries and stiffening competition from all
quarters? How can lotteries ride the waves of revolution in the age of Internet
and global casinos to reap benefits for themselves? How do we engage the
regulators, as we rise to these new challenges, to create a win-win situation?
Wednesday, 15 November
2006 Beyond the World of
Numbers On Day 3, lotteries look inward to assess their own
state of preparedness for the challenges ahead. Do we have strong
organizations that think one team? Do we have good corporate
governance and a strong social responsibility code? Are we functioning in
a harmonious relationship with our environment in order to harness positive
energy chi for the benefit of our organizations? The WLA
sub-committees will update us on the latest developments in CSR, risk
management issues and global insurance scheme. All that done, we round
off WLA2006 Convention with propitious advice from an authoritative Feng Shui
master, leading us into a successful 2007.
