Скачать или смотреть What African Business Leaders Need to Know about Social Movements that Have Gained Momentum in 2020

SESSION 9 in the webinar series Crisis Management for African Business Leaders

A moderated discussion on how the current crises, health and economic, have focussed a bright light on numerous social issues facing Africans including inequitable access to healthcare, the economic vulnerability of workers, occupational safety and wellbeing, temporary improvements in air and water quality resulting from lockdowns, police brutality and excessive use of force, disparities in access to technology, and more.

This panel explores what next-generation leaders expect from business leadership today. Social movements can organize overnight, and many a brand is caught off-guard if they have not demonstrated leadership on these issues, or if they do not address the issues in ways that are perceived as genuine and impactful.
