Panel Discussions

  • An Outlook on the Global Economy
    Balancing the short-term with the long-term has never been easy, and in a time of massive turmoil in financial markets it just got harder. In this lively panel discussion we will get the views and opinions of chief economists and strategists from leading global financial institutions as they discuss topics as diverse as economic trends, global markets, macroeconomic policy and how these affect local markets.

    Panellists include Dennis Turner, Gerard Lyons, PhD, Joseph Quinlan and Nicolas Owen (moderator).
  • Leading the High-Performance Organisation
    To lead with confidence and outpace competitors, you need to make better, faster decisions. The secret to success lies with analytics. Top organisations view analytics as an essential aspect of their performance strategy and are using it to navigate today's challenges and capitalise on tomorrow's opportunities.

    During this discussion, executive thought leaders will share their experiences and global perspectives on how to spark change in the way organisations derive value from their information.

    Panellists include Sol Trujillo, Jim Goodnight, Mikael Hagström and Jim Davis (moderator).
  • Corporate and Social Responsibility: From Regulation to Action
    Environmental issues, including climate change, are now at the top of the agenda in executive suites around the world. Sustainability initiatives can be defined as adopting business strategies that meet the needs of the enterprise and its stakeholders today while protecting, sustaining and enhancing the human and natural resources that will be needed in the future. Activities that support sustainability are transitioning from annual PR exercises to a strategic business function with shorter decision cycles and greater demand for intelligence.

    Executive thought leaders will discuss their experiences and global perspectives on what initiatives will have the greatest impact and how to turn complex information into effective strategies.

    Panellists include Lord Stern of Brentford, Andrew Winston, Clara Gaymard, Mikael Hagström and Nicolas Owen (moderator).
