Managing risks and leveraging opportunities are critical components of a board director's role. Join us on 7th May to dive into the key takeaways from the World Economic Forum's Global Risks Report and how they will influence boardroom decisions. We will hear from one of the authors of the report, who will present the findings over both the short term and long term global outlook, with 5 of the top 10 risks in the 10-year horizon being environmental risks.
A panel of non-executive directors will reflect on the outcomes of this Report, and how they influence strategy planning and ensuring the long term sustainability of the company. You will also have the opportunity to ask your own questions to this expert panel, as part of the Q&A at the end of the webinar.
