Open House on the Road

Open House Road Show

Great leadership is needed in turbulent times

The need to innovate through inclusive and unconventional thinking has never been more important. Our showpiece event for business leaders – IoD Open House – is going on the road this year with a series of business events, giving you the chance to learn from, and network with, some of the business world’s greatest thought leaders. With collaborative learning and inspirational presentations to ensure you are well prepared for what’s around the corner, these events are not to be missed.

Choose from events based on three core themes
– Global, Connected and Inclusive business –
and join the conversation.

Exploration creates opportunity. Expanding operations to, and trading with, new overseas markets offers the possibility of real growth for UK companies. But with complex factors transforming Britain’s role on the international stage, business leaders must understand how to quickly adapt to, and navigate through, a turbulent global economy. At these Open House events you’ll learn how to navigate this complex world with the help of trade experts and global business leaders with unique perspectives on international issues.

Global business

Connections are everything in business. The best work happens when the right people and organisations are brought together to achieve more than they could do alone. Leveraging diverse perspectives that challenge you to think differently can prove the difference between success and failure. At the heart of these connections is the technological infrastructure that enables us to collaborate. At these IoD Open House events, we will discuss crucial factors in the successful application of technology including...

- Cyber security

- Managing digital transformation

- Leading tech from the top

- Optimising organisational structure and performance

- Tech infrastructure in the UK

- Automation and Artificial Intelligence

Connected business

Business is for everyone. Diverse companies don’t just accept difference, they embrace it. Not just because they know this is the right thing to do, but because they understand that when we include a diverse range of perspectives we can see more opportunities and innovate better than we ever have before. UK businesses have made strides in inclusivity, but there is much more work to be done. At these IoD Open House events, we will hear from leaders who are setting the standards for the inclusive businesses of the future.
