This session will set the scene for the conference presenting a view

of the global economy, its trends, opportunities and challenges. We will hear of the growing representation of international cultures in the workplace and how we need to embrace this and grow with it. Being aware of these changes is a starting point – we need to act on the change. We will learn how we can do this and how we can actively lead through these unprecedented times of transformation as we rethink and rewire our brain!
