This year's annual Grigor McClelland lecture will be given by Ismail Amla, Executive Vice President, Professional Services, NCR.
This annual lecture explores the interaction between business, education and social responsibility, an area pioneered by Alliance MBS' founding Director Professor Grigor McClelland.
In this lecture, Ismail will discuss how shifts in technology, demographic change, the advent of hybrid working and changing generational expectations has created challenges around inclusion, while widening inequality and societal needs are not being met by traditional institutions.
What role does business have across these challenges. Do organisations need to do more and address the societal needs outside of just government policy. How will business contribute to society while ensuring it meets the needs of its financial stakeholders? Is it possible to do both meaningfully.
Join Ismail as he explores the role of business and whether the pursuit of profit and purpose are mutually beneficial.
