The YPO (Young Presidents Organization) is a well known global leadership group that provides education and resources for entrepreneurs 45 and younger.

The criteria to be a member is a minimum of 50 employees with minimum revenues of a million or more. This group is comprised mainly of Gen X and Gen Y and recent survey results posted in April 2010 show that global economic confidence is up 3.2 points.

This latest information is quite valuable as it applies to global views with specific countries showing slight drops in confidence.

How does this information affect our businesses?

I think if there was ever a time to look at global business the recent recession shows that thinking global with business is the key to future success.

The survey highlights are:

SURVEY HIGHLIGHTS Looking ahead 12 months, nearly 70 percent of CEOs who responded to the April 2010 survey expect future sales to increase with non-E.U. Europe, Latin America, Asia and MENA anticipating the most widespread growth. The majority expects employee counts to remain roughly the same, with the most widespread increases expected in MENA, Africa and Asia.
