Overview

In today’s climate, the importance of the global marketplace, coupled with multicultural workforces, has the potential to make or break New Zealand businesses.

Having lived offshore for many years and interviewed over 100 board chairs, board members and CEOs about how to adapt business culture to build greater ‘authentic’ diversity and be more effective in Asia, Pamela Young brings a solution-focused lens to ways in which boards can embrace opportunities in Asia and global markets. Pamela advocates for stimulating urgency and change. She will share data and insights to help boards navigate some of the most pressing areas that they should be concerned with:

Why boards must embrace (or create) upheaval today to be ready for unexpected and nascent hurdles on the 20-year horizon
How boards can get on top of the many challenges and changes that they face
Why boards should create a revolutionary 5-year strategy as a future-proofing mechanism
Whether focusing on growth, risk, technology, ESG, financial outcomes, innovation, and diversity is enough
What are the risks of ignoring Asia in future growth plans
What is required for a successful culture change
