CONTEXT

CEO Conference - Mastering the New Reality - Cluj

The biggest concerns are rooted in the pessimistic economic outlook generated by the multiple overlapping crises, wars, trade conflicts, cyber-threats, talent scarcity and increased regulation tackling climate change, the need to adapt to market realities, and the fast-changing business environment.

Which are the proven solutions that can work?

Where to look first? How to maintain control over the evolution of their business?

How to redesign the strategy and the organisation for a sustainable future?

What tools and knowledge are imperative to CEOs to lead their organisations successfully to performance?

CEOs now face the challenge of reimagining and refining their business models and strategies to adapt their businesses to a permanently changing environment.
