Dear Reader,
|
First off, we’d like to wish all of you a Happy New Year, and hope 2024
is full of bigger and better ‘firsts’ for you, as it’s going to be for
us – but we’ll get to that in a bit.
|
Late last year, COP28's pivotal agreement in December signalled the
beginning of a transformative shift away from the fossil fuel era. The
announcement added on to the optimistic, stable growth projections for
the global economy in 2024, following a year of governments successfully
keeping inflation under control and a widely expected recession at bay.
All of this has been thanks to resilient, courageous, and informed
leadership – something that the coming year will need a lot more
of.
|
In this edition of Executive Perspectives, our esteemed faculty
emphasise the critical significance of such leadership in steering
organisations through dynamic playing fields, fraught with innovation.
Our
Industry Insights episode with PwC’s Hari Kumar on why
leaders
should leverage empathy, humility, and courage, is a must watch.

Moreover, our Executive Education programmes stand ready to equip
experienced professionals with the tools and knowledge necessary to lead
organisations toward sustainable, responsible, and resilient futures,
such as the
Powering High-Performance Boards and

|
Finally, read all about our first ever
CXO Summit, an unparalleled
platform for knowledge exchange, thought leadership, and innovation that
will equip attendees with the insights and strategies needed to drive
growth and transformation, in an era of rapid change and disruption.
|
We’re grateful for your constant support and engagement, as
we strive to continue bringing you timely and actionable insights and
analysis through Executive Perspectives.

|
Onward and upward!

Warm regards,
