In an ever-changing business landscape, organisations of all sizes and across all sectors are potentially facing turbulence and disruption to their business models. From dealing with supply chain issues, labour/skills shortages, rising energy costs, cyber threats, through to inflation and ESG, the list goes on.
To support businesses, we are hosting a three-part seminar series focusing on core themes that will enhance your resilience and help protect your business. So, whether you are looking for tips for resilience or ways to enhance agility and growth strategies, we want to support you with strategy, innovation and growth to help you navigate an ever-changing landscape.
Across the three half-day seminars, you’ll hear insights from experts across many different organisations covering broad macro change dynamics, and digging into how these impact individual business functions, such as finance, people, strategy, sales and marketing, operations and IT.
Join us for one, two, or all three seminars. Secure your place today.
