Global Business Futures Initiative Conversations: A Virtual Webinar Series

Thriving in turbulent times: what business leaders need to compete in a new world

The current COVID-19 pandemic has forced business leaders, including those in Alberta, to evolve and pivot. Given emerging technologies, societal perceptions of business and challenges with international trade, how can business champions in our province adjust to these turbulent times? What do they need to compete in this new world?

This event is co-hosted by the Global Business Futures Initiative (GBFI) and Haskayne Executive Education.

Join us on December 7, 2020 to hear from Adam Legge, current President of the Business Council of Alberta and former Director of GBFI.
