About the event
Join us at “Futurefit: how to pivot, innovate and thrive in the new now”, with NatWest’s Principal Economist Stephen Blackman and CEO of Commercial Banking, Paul Thwaite.
Stephen will unveil his new research into the megatrends that are shaping our future, and the five areas where disruption will accelerate changes to how we live and work, creating opportunities and propelling us towards the future.
To respond to the research, we are bringing together an outstanding panel of business leaders including Lord Bilimoria, founder of Cobra Beer and President of the CBI and Dr Ali Parsa, Founder & CEO of Babylon Health, to share their expertise and experience on what this means for your business and how to build resilience in the long term.
During the event we will answer the pivotal questions facing business leaders today:
- A changing world: what are the skills and technologies required to futureproof businesses at a time of rapid digitisation?
- Driving demand: what are the consumer habits developed during the past six months that will define growth and innovation?
- Re-shaping our communities: how will the rise of the remote workforce transform our sense of place and community?
- A new social contract: how will trust, public acceptance of data use for protection and public-private partnerships shape our nation and society?
- The rise of resilience: what will be the new model for business growth?
Don’t miss the opportunity to hear fresh insights, engage with leading experts and pose your questions on the shape of things to come.
