The IoD Guernsey has announced details of this year's Annual Convention, which will take place on 6 October at the David Ferguson Hall at Beau Sejour.
The event will focus on how to navigate the ‘new order’ of geopolitical risk, protectionism and what this means for businesses and directors in Guernsey.
The keynote speaker will be Dr Wolfango Piccoli, Co-founder and Director of Research at CEO advisory firm Teneo.
Dr Piccoli is responsible for co-managing Teneo’s global political risk platform and leads the firm’s European analysis and advisory work. He has extensive experience helping financial institutions and corporations manage political risk in the UK and Europe.
Wendy Dorey (pictured), Chair of the IoD Guernsey Branch, said: "Geopolitical risks, rising inflation and the urgent energy and food crisis present exceptional challenges for directors, who not only need to guide their organisations safely through these challenges - but also focus on growth.
"I’m delighted to welcome Dr Piccoli as we explore how Guernsey’s directors can navigate these risks, build resilience and future-proof their businesses."
The event will also host a panel session to discuss how boards must adapt to meet these demands. This will include how to look beyond the bottom line and the year ahead, how to break away from traditional decision-making, the importance of communication with key stakeholders, and how to create lasting change.
Details of the panel will be published in due course.
