The FORTUNE CEO Initiative
The FORTUNE CEO Initiative is dedicated to helping members find ways to promote social progress as part of their core business strategies.
Navigating the New Frontier of Leadership
The last few years have shown us that agility, innovation, and empathy are key to successful modern leadership. But as we step into 2023, business leaders will be tested in new ways, as heightened expectations from all stakeholders collide with an impending recession, ESG backlash, culture wars, mounting geopolitical tensions, and other headwinds. And there’s another challenge —and opportunity—facing leaders in 2023: How to harness advances in technologies like artificial intelligence and the metaverse to build new products and create new business models?
The year ahead will be a pinnacle period for global business leaders. How will they rise to the occasion? How can they ensure a balanced approach to corporate profitability and empathetic leadership? There are no easy answers, but Fortune’s CEO Initiative promises to tackle these issues head-on as we examine the role of business and leadership in a new age.
We will take a deep dive into these topics at our 2023 events:
· Maintaining focus on social outcomes in a tough economic environment while managing profits
· Generative AI and its game changing impact on business
· Insights on implementing scope 3 successfully
· What can corporations do to minimize waste and increase biodiversity
· The pros and cons of experiments of scale
· How will the recession tip the scale from a candidate’s market to an employer’s market
· Aligning corporations, governments and ESG
Participation is by invitation only. For more information on joining, email CeoInitiative@fortune.com.
Agenda
Presented by Genpact
There’s no going back, the pandemic has transformed the way we work for good. With the number of permanent remote workers expected to double this year, how can employers spur innovation, foster greater collaboration, and progress diversity, equity and inclusion? How can companies’ cultures adapt to meet the demands of the hybrid office and maintain employee wellbeing? This session will showcase strategies that CEOs can adopt - from technology innovation to leadership best practices - to evolve your company culture so your business thrives in an all-remote or hybrid work reality
