The Annual Leadership Conference of SJIM
Seeking pathways for Excellence, Sustainability & Prosperity
About Event
Innovation is no longer a concept in the exclusive domain of managers and engineers. In the 21st century, there is a need to apply the concept of Innovation to raise the apogee of effectiveness in all areas-Business, Government and Society. The punishing aspect about innovation is that the contest never ends. When firms create a new market, others join the race. When one remedy is prescribed, out comes another social evil. Parry one threat up props another-even a pandemic. The third in the series of leadership conferences, the virtual conference will focus on how organisations can survive and thrive in this environment.
