Power is shifting, business models are being disrupted, careers are less defined and our environment is evolving. This change may herald the demise of the traditional drivers of our economy as we enter into a new age shrouded in uncertainty and pessimism. Success will come to those individuals who are bold enough to think differently about their careers and the future of their industries. LIGN is proud to bring you a panel discussion moderated by Mark Hennessy, London Editor of The Irish Times, which will explore our rapidly changing world. Our speakers discuss the importance of having a vision and thinking independently.
