With employee expectations evolving and disruption in technology, CEOs are striving to drive business success by harnessing the potential of their people.
AT A time when leaders are challenged to drive better business performance through their people, CEOs continue to be plagued by a critical skills shortage and heightened cost pressures. Externally, volatility continues to be the "new normal" for most organisations - in fact, a recent study shows that 70 per cent of Fortune 1000 companies have disappeared in the last 70 years.
