What, did they use up "Dynamic Resilience" last year?
Actually, there seems to be much confusion in the press over whether the theme is "Resilient Dynamism," which, combined with the word "Davos," gets 77,200 Google hits, or "Dynamic Resilience," which, combined with "Davos," gets 21,900 Google hits.
So, the best guess is that there is more than a 77% probability that the current Davos slogan is "Resilient Dynamism" rather than "Dynamic Resilience."
But, who can say for sure?

I'm told by an insider that it really is Redundant Onanism.
Slightly off-topic Resilient Dynamism / Dynamic Resilience FINNISH iSteve ALERT:
There's a thread over at Slashdot right now - ostensibly about protecting a computer's operating system from a determined intruder - which has since degenerated into an awesome discussion of Japanese tactics at Iwo Jima and Finnish tactics during The Winter War.
Apparently there was an internet meme a few years ago, which was called, "FINLAND. Be afraid. Be very afraid."
And it also looks like Stalin mounted his own "Battle of the Bulge", against Finland, about 4 years after The Winter War, which [at least relatively speaking] dwarfed what Hitler would throw at the Allies just a few months later.
PS: When you go to Slashdot, you have to fiddle around with your preferences, so that you can see all the "Score:0" and "Score:-1" comments, which give you a better feeling for the actual flow of the conversation.
It means that citizens of the world are going to have to shovel mountains of money to financial institutions once the next financial crisis hits.
You ask whether it matters. I found that there were, among their themes/ideas, a "cash for clunkers" type of program in Spain, and that one of their big issues is gender equity.
Its like these guys are trying to come up with a way to build a new wheel to replace the creaky inefficient old one for the mouse making power by running inside your TV, when there is no mouse there in the first place. If they're still pondering nonsense like gender equity, then no, it doesn't matter.
i guess because Davos is such a multinational and multilingual affair it makes sense that adjectives and nouns keep leapfrogging over one another in various texts.
Maybe its a language problem (French? German? Italian?)
"And, does it really matter?"
No, no, no. These days, the correct phrasing of this question is:
“What difference at this point does it make?”

What, no "realizing our/their full potential?"
Isn't Davos the ceator of the Daleks in Docto Who?
Exteminate, ex-tem-i-nate!
(Misspellings intentional).
It's Nassim Nicholas Taleb's concept of Antifragile, but with the name changed since he mocked Davos at every opportunity.
"Dynallient Resilientilism" would make just as much sense.
The real Davos theme (every year, without fail) is: "Using proles' lives as petri dishes for our newest brightest idea"™.
We blather "resilient dynamics"
While force-feeding you eco-NAM-ics.
White proles getting crushed,
It gives us a rush --
"Let's legalize all the Hispanics!"
"Utter Bullshit" or "Bullshit Utter" would be an apt slogan for Davos.
The link at "seriously" just turns up a blank Google search page. Is this another one of your jokes I'm not getting?
Kinetic robustness
Aint it resilient dynasticism?

Are you psychotic?
I was wondering, though this might not be the best group for such queries, how much of an immigrant population's employment needs are covered by international business conducted with the mother country? In theory, you could predict the impact of immigration by a certain population by calculating this, couldn't you? For instance, separating hispanic immigrants by region might give an indication which new populations will thrive here and which will suffer because of saturation. Too many people from that region to generate business opportunities in international trade or create jobs serving the needs of a specific ethnic group: restaurants, grocery stores, travel agencies, translation services, etc.
I get the impression, for instance, that certain Asian communities are suffering greatly during the current economic crisis because there are too many of them from one region to prosper in import/export type endeavors. 1st and 2nd generation ethnics may lose this advantage altogether due to assimilation to US norms/loss of language skills.

Snarf! Misty is a good name for you.

Yup, import/export endeavors. That's what brings the teeming hordes to our shores! They are basically just a non-white version of yee olde New England merchant class.
I thought that the WEF at Davos had the same motto, year in and year out.
"Kneel before Zod!"
It's odiously noxious and noxiously odious.
Davos is part of the soap-opera component of bread-and-circuses.
It ===could have been=== your town that discovered this money-making racket. But the Davos city council got there first.
I don't know 'dynamic' from 'resilient', but i do know to avoid "vibrant" communities.
Resilient Dynasticism
One may just as well change the vacuous 2008 Obama campaign slogan to "Belief We Can Change In."
Perhaps the WEF should adopt the motto of Omni Consumer Products:
"We've got the future under control"
Or of the Weyland-Utani Corporation:
"Building better worlds"
If the slogan was "Stealing your Money", their satraps in the press would find a way to make it acceptable.
