Introduction

1. I am delighted to join you here at the SID 7th Annual General Meeting Luncheon. I thank you for the honour of addressing this very distinguished audience.

2. In the face of accelerating change and intensifying competition, the demands on the Board and Management of companies to meet new challenges are multiplying. The differential in the rewards between successful and mediocre performance has sharpened. I will focus my remarks on the three challenges of managing change, managing risks and managing the leadership bench, and the role that SID can play.
