Many innovative
and breakthrough ideas or opportunities are overlooked when CEOs are unable to match
the value of a new idea to their current expectations of what will work within
their company or industry. As a result, we our Annual CEO Policy Maker Interactive Breakfast
Series was themed CEO Blind Spots: From Survival to Sustainability which held
on Tuesday, June 7, 2016.
In
Nigeria, blind spots are further widened by our current
economic realities which have forced businesses to streamline their operations
and adopt short term cost cutting measures in a bid to survive today’s economic
challenges. Sometimes resulting in layoffs, early retirements and pay cuts leaving many businesses are in dire straits,
jeopardizing long
term sustainability for short term gains. With over 90
CEO’s and Policy Makers in attendance the event allowed for dialogue which
revealed the need for increased communication between staff and the management
of companies during uncertain times as well as the need to identify and retain
key talent and staff which are the backbone of all successful businesses.
In
addition, WIMBIZ was commended for its contributions to the development of
Nigerian Women and its 15 years of effective succession and sustainability. The
panel consisted of individuals from a wide range of backgrounds including:
Ademola Adeyemi- Bero, Managing Director First E &P, Henrietta
Onwuegbuzie, Academic Director, Owner Manager Programme, Lagos Business
School, Kofo Dosekun, Partner Aluko & Oyebode, Wole Oshin,
