10.30 - 11.15 "Not From The Stars Do I My Judgement Pluck" - The Soul of Shakespeare and performance lessons 400 years later
What would you, your team or your company need to do to be relevant in 400 years? On the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, he is as relevant today as when he was in his prime in the early 1600s. We all know about Shakespeare's writing genius - the reason for his incredible longevity. In this talk, Sean Doherty will walk you through Shakespeare's life, touching on his writing before diving into what made him and Chamberlain's Men so successful in their business, drawing leadership and performance lessons that are as relevant today.

11.30 - 12.15 Three major shifts in the corporate world
We have to change thinking from short-term profit to sustainable capitalism. Financial reporting is critical but on its own, is insufficient. Equally, sustainability reporting without the numbers is critical but insufficient. A realisation of this reality led to the need for a new form of corporate reporting. Integrated reporting was a concept whose time had come. There exists, too, a major shift from the financial capital system to the inclusive capital system. The latter deals with the impacts on the economy, society and the environment of how the organisation makes its money.

12.30 - 13.15 Developing an executable strategy for resilience in any climate
A strategy must be flexible and pragmatic but most importantly, it must be executable. In developing markets, this means you must have a handle on economic variables and be able to drive your workforce towards strategic goals in an ever-changing and volatile business environment. In this session, James Ransome, Senior Manager Monitor at Deloitte, will help you understand not only how to develop executable strategy but also what can be done to ensure resilience of that strategy.
