Stakeholders in marketing, management and finance would convene in Lagos tomorrow, to examine the ‘future of executive decision making’ in a dynamic environment.
This topic has become important as a research that surveyed 300 C-level executives in large organisations from 16 countries showed many admitting to poor decision-making.
More than three quarters (80%) of executives agreed that flawed information had been used to make strategic decisions, with 42% admitting their organisation lost a competitive advantage because they were slow to make decisions.
Panellists to discuss the topic include Andrew Miskin, president, Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), and Foluso Phillips, executive chairman, Phillips Consulting.
Other confirmed panellists at the inaugural edition of CGMA include Foluke Aboderin, deputy managing director, Ecobank Nigeria Limited, and Sam Nwanze, chief investment officer/director, finance and investments, Heirs Holding plc.
The meeting is organised to bring senior business leaders and top-flight executives across all sectors in the Nigerian market together for a broad reaching conversation on information overload and excessive bureaucracy, among several other factors that bring about poor decision making.
The discourse will also build and strengthen the relationship between CIMA and corporations in Nigeria.
CIMA members and students work in industry, commerce, the public sector and not-for-profit organisations. CIMA works closely with employers and sponsors leading-edge research, constantly updating its qualification, professional experience requirements and continuing professional development to ensure it remains the employers’ choice when recruiting financially-trained business leaders.
