Background

The world has changed in unprecedented ways. Rising inflation, supply chain slowdowns, geopolitical tensions, the effects of climate change, talent uprising, ESG activism, amongst many others – have triggered disruptions that are causing ripple effects on the world economy. With so much turbulence and uncertainty, the speed and agility with which our business leaders, including boards, anticipate and respond to such unprecedented challenges will determine the success or otherwise of the companies they steer.

We believe these calls for a proactive sustainability driven governance model which rests on the presence of a multi-dimensional approach to risks, digital maturity, stakeholder-centricity, purposeful innovation, and self-regulation. Boards will need the B Factor – be bold and brave – to steer their organisations through these turbulent times and towards greater heights.

This conference will broaden the awareness of members and advisors to Boards of Directors in both developing and emerging markets of methods for improving the effectiveness of their board. This summit will provide an opportunity for participants to upgrade their knowledge needed in successfully fulfilling their roles.
