The global pandemic is compelling companies of all sizes to adopt new digital ways of doing business. In this seminar, a leading FT journalist and digital champions will look at the digital history of one of the world’s leading news organisations, how the FT endured through the crisis with a radical online strategy and will talk about what this means for the way your business operates. Our two globally renowned business practitioners will share their in depth experiences and outlooks on technology and digital transformation.

The Covid-19 era will be remembered as a time when the planes were grounded, much economic activity halted, and carbon emissions fell. What of the future? Will we move to a greener, more sustainable economy and what opportunities and pitfalls will that present to your company? One of the FT’s leading sustainability specialists joined by Reto Ringger, founder of Globalance Bank, and SAM Group, will talk you through the likely outcome.

As a result of the Covid-19 crisis, we face radical change. Whether we see a V-shaped recovery or a new era of mass unemployment and slow growth, companies will have to look at new ways of leading and managing. Whatever the outcome of the coronavirus crisis, society will be reordered. Governments will be far more involved in our lives and there will be increased pressure to recognise some of the previously disregarded members of our society, including care, cleaning and distribution workers.

In this seminar, Andrew Hill, the FT’s management editor, will look at the likely new management styles and will examine how family businesses as well as all businesses will need to approach their leadership and succession planning. He will be joined by Dr. Björn Johansson, from Dr. Bjørn Johansson Associates Inc., a leading, globally operating Board Advisory Firm, based in Zurich, Switzerland, exclusively focusing on Non-Executive and Executive Board appointments. Bjørn Johansson will draw from a wide range of entrepreneurial and multicultural experience; in the course of his over 40 years Board Advisor career, he has placed more than 900 highly qualified top executives with leading profit and non-profit corporations and institutions in over 40 countries worldwide.

What will the investment opportunities be as we emerge from the Covid-19 crisis? Where will the smart money go?

In this webinar, John Plender, one of the FT’s most respected columnists, will be joined by Chris Mayer, portfolio manager and co-founder of Woodlock House Family Capital. They’ll look at the state of world economies after coronavirus, the prospects for growth and inflation. He will look at which sectors are likely to be winners, and which are likely to be losers.
