Growth & Innovation: Rebuild Beyond Survival Mode
In times of crisis, it’s easy for organisations to default to old habits— just at the point where new approaches are most valuable.
So, what can organisations do? As they position themselves for the new normal, they cannot afford to be constrained by traditional information sources, business models, and capital allocation behaviours.
As part of our exciting line-up of speakers for IMI’s 2020 Virtual National Management Conference, Michael Jacobides, will share his latest thinking on how firms should Rethink, Reconfigure and Reallocate for the new normal. He will speak to the topic, “Growth & Innovation: Rebuild Beyond Survival Mode”.
Michael is the Sir Donald Gordon Professor of Entrepreneurship and Innovation and Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at London Business School. He will challenge your mental models, help you revamp your business models, leverage the growing impact of digital ecosystems, talk about rigorously de-averaging your uses of cash, and how businesses can increase their chances of not only surviving the crisis but also thriving in the post-COVID19 world.
Five things that will define the post-pandemic world economy
Even before the 2020 global pandemic hit the world in earnest, the global economy was in a precarious place. Many of the largest developed and developing countries were already experiencing low, slow and even no growth. In this sense, COVID is catalytic and has accelerated the threats to the global economy.
Moreover, a number of headwinds are making a bad situation, worse. Technology and the risk of a jobless underclass; weakening demographics – in terms of the quantity of the population and the quality of the workforce; worsening income inequality; scarcity of natural resources and climate change concerns; unsustainable debts and declining productivity.
Pre-eminent thinker in strategic investment and public policy, author of 4 New York Times Bestselling Books, and previously one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World, Dr. Dambisa Moyo will be one of the keynote speakers at this year’s IMI National Management Conference.
