At our 2022 conference in Athens, we will explore the mega trends facing organisations as we emerge from a decade which has embraced huge technological advancement, financial meltdown, a pandemic, massive political realignment and a shift in the balance of world economic power. How do organisations adapt and adjust? How do you stay in the game? What are the operational ramifications?
Across three days of networking, collaboration, and learning, we will discover how to do business in a changing context.
Key questions we will tackle:
- What is the geopolitical context businesses now find themselves operating within?
- What emerging technological trends are likely to impact organisational life? Are organisations ready to adapt to them or not?
- How do organisations formulate strategy in complex, strange, and fast-changing circumstances? What do they need to do differently, and how do they do it? What do we really mean when we talk about being flexible and agile? How do we ensure robust supply chains? Which assumptions need to be challenged and corrected?
