As if the current business environment isn’t challenging enough, societal undercurrents are fundamentally changing the way that we do business.
A different mindset is required in order to be successful in business in the 21st century. Find out how you can harness the power of societal change to gain a deeper understanding of the new drivers of financial performance.
A recent IBM survey of CEOs revealed that agility is required in order to deal with the uncertainties posed by business and societal change. Businesses need to be asking:
• How do we cut through the complexity?
• How do we get a clear perspective on these trends?
• How do we form a solid and enduring strategy?
As much as change is disruptive and can destroy traditional industry economics overnight, agile businesses have an unprecedented opportunity to exploit new products, markets and sloppy competitors.
It is predicated that societal change will be one of the main arenas for business competition in the coming decades.
By raising awareness of key societal trends, examining sources of organisational value and facilitating creative thinking, businesses can not only build capability to meet the demands of change, but also capitalise on the opportunity it offers to stand out from their competitors and develop winning competitive advantage.
In this session, Phil will:
• Examine the drivers of business and societal trends

This will instil in you the mindset needed to get the competitive edge in the 21st century
