Chris will discuss the challenges faced by a well-known, and respected organisation in ensuring that they are prepared for the future.
In order to do that effectively the organisation needs to understand itself, and what the future holds, and requires a strong set of principles and behaviours that staff buy into.
The presentation will explore issues of staff empowerment, communication, challenges and opportunities around workforce diversity and how to link strategy to delivery.
