ABOUT THE EVENT

Leading in Challenging Times Virtual Executive Summit

To bring timely, actionable data and insights, the Vistage Executive Summit will be presented as live, online Virtual Sessions with keynote speakers.


These are unprecedented times. There has never been a better time to be part of the Vistage community and leverage the resources and support available. The COVID-19 outbreak precludes us all from meeting in person this year, however, please join us for a unique Summit experience from the comfort and safety of your own home.

As we start to consider a relaxation of lockdown and what that means for your organisation our theme is Reset, Rebuild, Reinvent.

Our aim is to help you:

  • Consider what new opportunities lie ahead.
  • Create a strategic framework to take advantage of these opportunities.
  • Gain insights and data about the current business environment and reflect on the implications for your business.

Speaker sessions

Roger Martin
Reset, Rebuild, Reinvent 

The topic is the need for leaders to be ambidextrous in the following sense: they have to use data analytics/scientific reasoning to optimise what exists, while at the same time using creativity and imagination to create what is needed. In less challenging times, leaders could succeed with one or the other – you need both now.

Steve Head
Taking Control of yourself and your Business 

During this short keynote you will learn why we need to be more optimistic, open and connected to our teams more than ever. While we face COVID-19 during this Recovery and Restoration phase, what key strategies will help inspire, engage and support your people.

Below are just a few that will be covered.

  • Be aware of what we focus on……opinions vs facts / negatives vs positives.
  • Why as leaders we must create an optimistic mindset.
  • Reinforce 149 vs 15. This is vital right now (all will become clear).
  • Do what we can with what we have and where we are right now.
  • Move from Victim mindset to accountable mindset, and how to do it! This is about taking control of yourself and your business.

Ben Kumar
Caging the Lizard’ – How to Make Better Investment Decisions

In this 30 minute session Ben explores the psychology of making financial decisions and the problems caused by information overload. The body of this session will link our innate human behaviours to recent global events (e.g. COVID) and how this relates to investment markets.  There will also be a Q&A which will give delegates the opportunity for the audience to fire any market related questions to Ben.

How to glue a remote business together

Covid-19 has made us all recognise changes to working styles. Working from home and Furlough has brought new challenges. WFH in particular is here to stay. How do you know what people are doing? With cross departmental projects, how do you ensure all the steps are completed, that they are done the right way and that people know they’ve been done? What glues all this together?
