Summary
How do you stay abreast of emerging trends and evolutions that might affect your business, including economic, technological, social, political and environmental? This short conference-style programme brings together some of the world’s leading thinkers and practitioners over 24 hours to share the latest macro and micro developments that could influence your approach.
Background
The world is evolving faster than we ever believed possible and the ability to anticipate and respond to changing human and business needs, circumstances, and priorities, is becoming increasingly challenging.
Vital Few: Part Two was developed to provide an annual event where business leaders are invited to take a step back and reflect on their leadership and how some of these emerging factors might influence both the direction of their business and how they get there.
Agenda
The schedule for this programme is curated each year to explore topical themes for businesses and leaders. While the speakers and themes change for each programme, the format remains consistent with each programme beginning with a group drinks reception and dinner with a guest speaker followed by a full day workshop, anchored in the Dimensions leadership framework.
Our confirmed speakers for 2023 so far include:
Mark Stevenson
Mark is a strategic advisor to governments, investors, NGOs and corporates and co-founder of Carbon Removals company CUR8.
Though branded a ‘futurist’ by others Mark is more, as one client puts it, ‘Chief Annoying Question Asker’. He helps organisations change the way they feel, think, invest and operate.
Chloe Combi
Nobody has a crystal ball, but Chloe’s work is the next best thing . She has spoken around the world, interviewed 10,000+ members of Generation Z, wrote the first book on them, and has successfully worked with global brands on their future strategies.
Colonel Tim Collins OBE
Tim is a former SAS officer, former battalion Commander, and now author and broadcaster.
As the commanding officer of 1st Battalion Royal Irish,Tim gave the now famous eve-of-battle speech to his troops in Iraq on Wednesday 19th March 2003. The speech has gone down in modern military history as an inspiration to world leaders and soldiers alike
