Radically Transforming your Business/ Becoming an African Multinational Company. Achieving excellence or overcoming a crisis sometimes calls for a deep re-thinking of a company’s strategy, organisation, corporate governance, financial management and technological solutions. But too many businesses are still getting lost in long and costly transformation plans that often partially achieve their objectives. More difficult is the expansion & growth strategy for going global or building a Pan-African business. The cultural, human and logistical challenges that bedevil such expansions and growth. Experts in this session, selected accomplished CEOs will explain how they restructured and improved the management and performance of their companies both rapidly and successfully how they strategized and executed corporate strategies in many African countries. And how they tackled the cultural, human and logistical challenges that bedeviled such expansions and growth. The opportunities for growth in Africa are still very high and that makes this session important

The 5th Ghana CEO Summit - Programme Outline

• Resetting Ghana’s Drive to improve the Ease of Doing Business in 2021 and beyond. This session will provide a platform for a thorough conversation on the realities of doing business in Ghana, the challenges and the opportunities. Should Ghana be worried by these results? How does Ghana reset and improve the ease of doing business? How did countries in Africa performed? Ghana dropped from 114 in 2019 to 118 in 2020, for the World Bank’s flagship publication on the ease of doing business in 190 economies. According to the World Bank, Ghana’s decline was influenced by paying taxes that has become more complicated and more costly by converting a portion of the recoverable Value Added Tax into two new levies – the Ghana Education Trust Fund and the National Health Insurance Levy. According to the Report, Nigeria earned a place among the top global improvers alongside Togo.

01:00PM – 02:00PM. SESSION SEVEN – THE BOARDROOM-CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PANEL

Covid-19 is a Litmus Test for Stakeholder Capitalism. Stakeholder Capitalism: What Is Required from Corporate Leadership? With shareholder primacy giving way to a broader vision for stakeholder-driven capitalism, how can business leaders rebuild public trust and deliver on a new mandate? How can Boards translate stakeholder capitalism into practice? COVID-19 highlights the importance of integrated corporate governance, or more fully integrating ESG&D factors into the governance, strategy and operations of companies. Since the beginning of the century, major technological, environmental, geopolitical and socio-economic changes have been transforming the expectations and operating context of business, compelling a re- examination of corporate governance principles and board practices. In particular, these changes have rendered environmental, social, governance and data stewardship (ESG&D) considerations substantially more material to the fundamental purpose of companies – sustainable value creation. This is eroding the traditional distinction between a shareholder primacy model of corporate governance focused on financial and operational risks and opportunities, on the one hand, and a stakeholder-driven model of corporate responsibility and citizenship focused on environmental and social risks and opportunities, on the other. 6
