Welcome from the CEO

"Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion" – Jack Welch

As business leaders it is crucial to be the pillars of strength in order to lead our organisations towards success, particularly in today’s challenging global climate. Even great leaders can experience periods of doubt and inertia. To overcome this we need to redefine our vision to one that provides direction, focuses on action, and inspires our stakeholders to plan towards an achievable future.

CPA Australia recognises the need to provide senior business leaders with a forum to challenge the status quo and share fresh insights with each other in these challenging times. Business Outlook 2012 is an intimate and exclusive one-day conference that offers valuable networking opportunities to discuss current issues facing your organisation with like-minded individuals.

The program is based on a series of topical sessions incorporating dynamic discussion, which will be facilitated by award-winning journalist Kerry O’Brien.

The inspiring line-up of high-profile speakers will bring fresh perspectives to the table on key topics including changing market forces, Australia's global positioning, promoting organisational productivity and new business models.

I encourage you to attend this premium event to debate, connect and enhance your experience as a leader in the contemporary business world.

I look forward to seeing you there.
