Event Details

As businesses navigate geopolitical uncertainty, shifting stakeholder expectations and rapid technological change, reputation has become a critical strategic asset. Drawing on more than 25 years of advising CEOs and multinational organisations across Asia Pacific, Emma Smith will share practical insights on building reputation capital to strengthen leadership, support business strategy and create long-term value:

  • Is reputation now a boardroom issue rather than a communications issue?
  • Can a global company still have one universal corporate identity for all markets?
  • What surprises multinational CEOs most when expanding into new markets?
  • How should leaders respond when expectations differ across markets?
  • Which stakeholder groups are more influential today and how to engage them?
  • What lessons from Asia are increasingly relevant for businesses globally and vice versa?

The Chatham House Rule applies.

 

Admission includes tea, coffee and croissants.
