“The Search for Meaning”:

• The future of the organisation and its relationship to all stakeholders is critical. Before even attempting to define a strategy, we have to find meaning for what we will do.

• Charles Handy has established himself as one of the pre-eminent business thinkers of the latter part of the 20th century.

• He will guide the senior team to put organisational purpose in context.

“Those who live by the sword will be shot by those who don’t”.

• The opinionated, sometimes acerbic, voice of contemporary strategy is Gary Hamel.

• Establishing a clear, radical approach to future value is the directors’ purpose.

• Gary will help make the right path evident.

“Governance and the Regulator”:

• How will global regulatory requirements shape our intended actions?

• Alexander Kern, author of the joint US/UK governments 2004 working paper on “Corporate Governance and Banking Regulation” will lead discussion on what is and what is not going to happen in the future.

• The strategy adjusts to match that future.
