Leading Through Change by Helle Thorning-Schmidt
What you will learn?
Helle Thorning-Schmidt knows what it means to lead through change because she's done it. She became the first woman to hold the post as Leader of the Danish Social Democrats and in 2011 became Prime Minister of Denmark.
She says, "no matter where you are as a leader in times of change, you have to be courageous, get out of your comfort zone, embrace dilemmas and forgive yourself when you make mistakes. And you have to take a stand. But most of all you have to stay curious and cool." Helle is known to be a courageous woman with a strong charisma and a forceful personality; maybe because her father told her that:" Girls can do anything - also become the prime minister", and during hard times, she reminded herself that what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.

The New Global Reality by Haiyan Wang & Anil Gupta
What you will learn?
Historically, globalization has been viewed almost solely through the lens of trade in physical goods. But this is quickly becoming yesterday's story. We're in the midst of a fundamental transformation in the structure and dynamics of the global economy, with cross-border data flows that have been growing at over 40% annually for the last 20 years. The winners in the global economy will be the organizations that lead in discovering and exploiting new opportunities created by changes in their external environments. This presentation highlights the key strategic implications for navigating this new world of "smart globalization" and explains the value of going global early versus standing on the sidelines in this all-star game.

Redefining the Role of Business in the 21st Century by Paul Polman
This event gives you the opportunity to get inspired and to learn how innovation, diversity and operational efficiency will help you and your organization to go BEYOND.
What you will learn?
Runaway climate change and rampant inequality are ravaging the world and costing a fortune. Who will help lead us to a better future? Business.
These massive dual challenges-and other profound shifts like pandemics, resource pressures, and shrinking biodiversity-threaten our very existence. Other megatrends, such as the clean economy explosion and the unprecedented focus on diversity and inclusion, offer exciting new opportunities to heal the world, and prosper by doing so. Government cannot do this alone. Business must step up. In this seminal book, former Unilever boss Paul Polman and sustainable business guru Andrew Winston explode fifty years of corporate dogma. They reveal for the first time key lessons from Unilever and pioneering companies around the world on how you can profit by fixing the world’s problems, not creating them. To thrive today and tomorrow, they argue, companies must become "net positive" - giving more to the world than they take.
This is no utopian fantasy - courageous leaders are already making it real and the stakes could not be higher. With bold vision and compelling stories, Net Positive sets out the principles and practices that will deliver the scale of change and transformation the world desperately needs.
