In recent years, technological advancements have led to life-changing innovations. However, in the first two decades of the 21st century, we have already witnessed two severe global economic recessions, increasingly polarizing politics, rising resource/income inequality and massive environmental degradation. We live in times where exciting growth opportunities coexist with existential threats to current and future generations.

• Can businesses enjoy the exciting growth opportunities while ignoring the existential threats?
• More importantly, can businesses drive superior shareholder returns by addressing the very challenges that threaten Planet Earth and all of Humanity?
• Will traditional models of leadership, management, and governance be adequate for organizations to succeed in a fundamentally altered digital-first post-pandemic landscape?

This interactive session will outline the tectonic shifts taking place in global markets and in society; and present a new, highly practical leadership and governance model that top teams can use to future-proof their organizations.

Research now confirms that younger generations of consumers and customers are demanding responsible behavior from businesses and are ready to pay a premium for sustainable goods and services. Furthermore, according to the World Economic Forum, McKinsey & Co, and other credible sources, addressing challenges such as environmental degradation (sustainability) and income inequality present $10.1 trillion in annual business opportunity.  Clearly, win-win-win success and prosperity is now possible.  This session will discuss how top leadership teams can shape strategy and culture to tap into this opportunity without forgoing profitability.
