TIC Sector best performing segment in Business Services …
M&A activity coming back from slower 2009
Private equity vs. strategic buyers: some considerations
Competition
• Most of the CEOC members had a monopolistic status in the past
• Today we are competitors at the open markets
Still we must be able to cooperate in important sector specific topics
Restrictions of competition are illegal

CEOC International today
CEOC International members have different roles, aims, sizes and scopes
⇒ the members expect different services and actions from the confederation.
⇒ CEOC must therefore balance its services and support to the different categories of membership
⇒ CEOC will permanently face a great variety of expectations
The only way to conciliate such different expectations is to combine in a complementary way the European /
International and the national level.
A changing world for the TIC sector – CEOC’s major challenges
1. Positive market development and potential (100 Billion € )
2. Globalisation of the markets
3. Competition between TIC companies
4. Consolidation following an on going process of mergers and acquisitions
5. Lower profitability mainly due to sinking prices
6. High costs due to shortage of qualified personnel
7. Providing enabling technologies
8. More safety minded environment
9. Visibility and communication
10. Public perception

The key role of the association …
The role of the association How do we measure the INFLUENCE?
Measuring the direct influence of a business association is itself a challenge. (Association Management, Vol 12, Ed 4)
-How effective is association in promoting its sector to public policy makers-
Combination of 3 key issues:1.Performance on issue2.Relationship with policy makers (sector related network)3.Reputation of the sector/business/industry
Credibility
• CEOC represents the TIC sector in Europe• Our work is increasingly in lobbying and then our
credibility becomes even more important• CEOC shall be controlled by its members• If the other parties feel that we only present few
members or countries then we lose our credibility
Both large and small members shall be involved
