“Having fewer women than men in leadership positions makes no sense. We know for instance that organisations with the highest levels of gender diversity in their leadership teams are 15 per cent more likely to outperform their industry rivals.”

Getting on to the Board
For many executives, taking on a non-executive director (NED) role seems like the logical next step in their career but the journey to the portfolio career can be full hurdles. In our interactive session, our panel of speakers will share their own experiences and provide their insights into the rewards and challenges likely to be encountered.
Career Success: The role of workplace politics
Every professional reaches a point in their career when it becomes evident that hard work and performance alone are not enough. Workplace politics are a fact of life for everyone and a process that must be engaged in rather than ignored. It is essential to understand the dynamics of your organization, to identify who are the power players with influence over your career and then to build allies and champions who can support your career goals.
Digital Leadership: A challenge and opportunity
A worldwide demographic shift, combined with a digitally-driven change in desired skill sets, is challenging organisations to re-consider their workforce needs. But what does the ideal workforce look like today and in the future? And how can leaders ensure their organisation is an attractive employment prospect to talent with very different expectations than their predecessors? As we see digital transformation help companies accelerate their transformation journey to fuel productivity, effectiveness and growth. What needs to change when it comes to their leadership and talent?
Sponsoring: How to accelerate your career
What can hold people back isn’t the “old boy’s club” conspiracy but rather a surprising absence of advocacy from men and women in positions of power. Some managers who are qualified to lead, particularly women, simply don’t have the powerful backing necessary to inspire, propel, and protect themselves on their journey through upper management. They lack, in a word, sponsorship.
Mentoring Programme
The vast majority of highly succesful men and women acknowledge the huge benefits of having a mentor to help them forge the right path.
For mentors, helping someone to achieve their potential is highly rewarding.
For mentees it can be an essential support to help them transition to the next role.
