Join us to hear CBI President John Allan CBE, Chair of Tesco and Barratt Developments, recount his experiences of leading organisations to become agile, adaptable and robust in the face of changing market forces.
In conversation with Resilience First Chair Simon Collins, the former UK Chair of KPMG, John will discuss key issues such as:
- Do Boards generally take resilience seriously and if not how can it be elevated? What are the impediments?
- Is there enough attention on ideas such as culture and learning to help change behaviours to reduce risk?
- Are companies too focused on organisational aspects of resilience rather than wider community or societal resilience?
The event is an exclusive opportunity to hear from one of the most influential voices in business and to network with key industry colleagues.
