It is a place where senior executives can discuss strategic concerns, technical trends, and other issues important to them. Participants walk away with practical techniques and strategies that they can use to hone their leadership skills and develop their teams to meet the challenges triggered by the economy, new legislation, emerging technologies, competition, and organisational change.
