Reflections
CHANGING ENVIRONMENT
Demand is shifting to emerging
markets. Growing middle class –
biggest opportunity for growth
Shift in age profiles,
expectations of equality of
opportunity, work life balance
and choice of employer
Digitization, hyper connectivity and
deregulation are disrupting business value
chains – nature of consumption and
competition are changing. Innovation to stay
ahead is a no brainer
Customers demographics and attitude are
changing. They are empowered through
technology, data and greater choice
These shifts are simultaneous – “LEADERSHIP IS CRITICAL”
