About the 2015 Forum
The 2015 GC Leadership Forum addressed key topics to enable GCs to develop the business and leadership skills needed to make them and their team a success. There was a focus on what is needed to take an on-going active leadership role across an organisation and how to have a real impact at the top table. We heard practical case studies from companies who have success stories to tell in talent management, continual improvement, accountability, innovation, business and succession planning.
