Leadership Masterclass One: The Economics of Now and The Future

29th March 2023 10:00 – 12:00

To view the Leadership Masterclass Programme

As domestic economies continue to grapple with the far-reaching international impacts of energy supply challenges, inflation, subdued growth forecasts, tight financial conditions, and threats of recession, leading organisations through such turbulent times is a challenge facing all leaders. Hear from economics and leadership experts as they debate the current economic landscape and how it can best be negotiated, future economic trends, the leadership competencies required to prosper, and the key risk management challenges for organisations.


Learning Objectives

By the end of the session, you will be able to:

  • identify the impact of the present economic landscape on organisations and the competencies required of leaders to lead their organisations through the current turbulence
  • horizon scan future economic trends and their likely impact
  • debate effective means of managing subsequent organisational risk
