CEO Roundtable |
| Topic |
Global business leaders have a historic opportunity to redefine their companies' relationships with governments and society around the world. It will not be easy to reshape relations with these key external stakeholders while maintaining a focus on financial performance and shareholder value. But for the strongest CEOs, the current economic and social changes create a wonderful opportunity to deliver a richer and more balanced business performance.
This is why finding new ways of working with governments and society will be the theme of the 2012 CEO Roundtable, IMD's annual Foundation Board event.
Aimed solely at CEOs and Chairpersons, the 2012 Roundtable will mix stimulating high-level peer discussions with new research from IMD's Global Board Center. The fast-paced, media-free roundtable will give participants a refreshingly frank look at these and other key issues, and point toward practical solutions that support the success of companies and their leaders. |
