What have we learnt from the recession?
?
   
A two-day conference for senior executives at
Cranfield School of Management
9-10 March 2010


Dear Executive

This conference gives senior executives the opportunity to consider the lessons from the economic downturn when the prospect of an upturn can now be contemplated with some confidence.

The conference takes multiple perspectives on the learning that can, and should be drawn from the recession. Speakers will explore the implications for business and industry. Both days will maximise the opportunities for participants to network to inform their view of the lessons and the prospects for recovery. The aim of the event is to provide insight that can be acted upon by business leaders in the context of their own strategic planning.

The programme
The programme for the two days is designed to address the question of how UK business can draw on the legacy of the recession. It will feature high profile speakers, with a focus on the lessons that should be learnt and how to avoid history repeating itself.

Speakers include:
  • Andy Bond, (Cranfield MBA 1993) President and CEO, Asda
  • Lord Digby Jones, Business Ambassador for UK Trade and Investment
  • John Frankiewicz, CEO, Willmott Dixon Capital Works
  • Paul Mason, Economics Editor, BBC Newsnight
  • Rt Hon Michael Portillo, broadcaster, writer and former cabinet minister
