Talks and speeches

1. Business 2035 | Craft Your Strategic Moonshot Some experts anticipate "more changes in the next 10 years than what happened over the last 100 years". Big changes are coming. Either you want it or not, you need to adjust. As Eric Shinseki said: “If you dislike change, you gonna dislike irrelevance even more”. So, in the face of such rapid evolution, what’s your Plan? What is your Strategy? Let's delve into practical tools to craft your 2035 Strategic Moonshot, and identify the levers to achieve it. 2. Short & Actionable Strategy Execution Framework | Accelerate your pace to success 90% of strategic plans fail to be executed. As Winston Churchill wisely advised, "However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results". Join industry leaders to explore, share and learn a streamlined approach featuring precise objectives, prioritised initiatives, and simple measures, leaving behind complexity and confusion for a clear path to strategy execution success. 3. Strategy Leadership Mastery | Join the 8% club of top leaders "Only 8% of leaders are good at both strategy definition and strategy execution" as stated in an HBR article. Are you ready to step into this exclusive circle? Discover how leaders can break free from traditional approaches and design strategic plans that truly deliver results. This session will empower you to effectively understand your critical leadership role throughout the entire strategic process: from definition to Execution. 4. Successful Today And Tomorrow | The CEO Dilemma The life of a CEO is currently arduous: - Sustaining a solid growth rate and increasing profitability in very challenging economic conditions has become increasingly daunting. - On top of that, "45% of global CEOs believe their organisations won't be economically viable in a decade if they continue on their current trajectory", according to a recent PWC survey. Let's delve into this pivotal dilemma faced by CEOs: the need to be both a "Chief Exploitation Officer" (focused on efficiently managing today's business model) and a "Chief Exploration Officer" (constructing tomorrow's business models).
