CONFERENCE

THE EAST AFRICA GOVERNANCE SUMMIT

• 22nd Jun 2023 to: 23rd Jun 2023

BUILDING RESILIENT DIRECTORS IN A VUCA ENVIRONMENT 

Un-packing the theme

The global business environment is going through major upheavals. Here in Kenya, we are constantly faced by un-expected challenges. The political and economic instabilities expose business to un-stable and un-expected outcomes. Changes in the business environment, is now a normal constant. Businesses can hardly keep up with the rate at which regulations are being reviewed and amended. From tax compliance requirements, to reporting regulations, these changes, have become the norm, rather than the exception. Market activities and business fluctuations are completely unclear, and we are faced by many “unknown unknowns.

The Institute of Directors (Kenya), invites all stake holders in Kenya and East Africa to the 1^st East Africa Governance Summit, for candid conversations and discussions, on matters of governance.
