A changing landscape: are we going in the same direction?

Industry has prospered but the start of the new decade brings a new period with plenty of challenges including the pandemic, political uncertainty, impending climate change, ‘black swan’ events and steady population growth.  Companies are moving away from shareholder dominance to a model which focuses on ‘sustainable value’ for all stakeholders and looking at accelerated digitalisation.  What does it mean for us, together as an industry and separately in our businesses?

• We must deal with daily disruption, but how can we ensure the longevity and profitability (“sustainability”) of our business into the future?  
• How do we define success, and does this need to change?
• Is it a bigger risk if we don’t push the ‘stakeholder’ agenda forward?  What is involved in de-risking?
• How are other industries and markets changing?  What’s the short and mid term economic and financial outlook?
• Can new technology help to re-think business value propositions as well as improve our processes?  What’s the right technology?  How will accelerated digitalisation impact the industry and my own business?
