KEYNOTE SPEAKER ANNOUNCED
Friday, March 23, 2012 at 05:23AM The Strategic Planning Society is pleased to announce that Richard Whittington, Professor of Strategic Management at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, will make the keynote speech and co-present the awards with respective sponsors.
In support of the long-term view to the benefit of all stakeholders
The advent of the regulatory 'Strategic Report' as a key element of the annual reporting process will put a premium on companies establishing effective strategic capability in the business and communicating that capability in their annual reporting. Companies that consistently achieve the highest standards with a robust and effective strategic framework at the heart of their corporate reporting achieve marked benefit in their stock market performance – the best are 76.21% above the FTSE350 over four years*.
In his keynote Richard will provide some interesting insight into the critical importance of strategy to the listed company. He will offer some timely thoughts on how to develop strategic thinking, strategic management and strategic capability effectively in the business, and how to communicate that successfully in the new era of the 'Strategic Report'. As Adviser to the IoD on Director Development this is sure to be germane and insightful.
