Radical Management Attitudes for Tomorrow’s World

Wednesday 26th November 2014

Michael Tobin OBE, author of ‘Forget Strategy, Get Results’ and, until recently, CEO of TelecityGroup plc, discussed how in a world where the rate of change is ever greater, is strategy as important  as being able to inspire a leadership team to execute on the values and vision of the business in real time? Without empowering the business leaders with the ability to be flexible, how can we safeguard against tomorrow’s disruptive innovation? What does technology have in store for us, where are the big trends heading, and can we inoculate against their risks whilst taking advantage of their opportunities?

Michael Tobin, OBE

Until recently, Michael Tobin as CEO led TelecityGroup plc, a leading FTSE250 Technology company. Michael has over 30 years’ experience in senior roles across the telecommunication and technology sector.
