Strategic Issues for Business and Leadership Development - For WTP11 Only (12 May 2026)

Tue, 12 May 2026 11:00:00 GMT

For WTP11 only

How can organisations build a strong corporate reputation in today’s complex world? And where does their finance strategy within this, particularly when it comes to making sound investment decisions and responding to customers’/stakeholders’ and employees’ needs?

Understanding how key financial concepts and strategies are integrated into organisational performance, and how to communicate on this and wider business issues, need to be at the top of leaders’ mind if they want to lead with impact. If you were stuck in a lift with your CEO or Executive Director for 5 minutes, what insights would you provide on your organisation’s future financial goals as well as on corporate reputation management, to best serve the interests of your organisation?

During this workshop, awe-inspiring WIL Members Charlotte West and Veena Andayil will provide all the essential information you need to have in mind on these important issues to help you think more strategically and lead with even greater impact.

This session will take the form of a 15 minute presentation by our two senior guest speakers, followed by half an hour of exchange with them, so get your questions ready!
