Abstract

This theme paper explores some of the areas on the agenda for the forthcoming 2023 Dubai Global Convention and 30th World Congress on Leadership for Innovation and Business Excellence. It suggests issues and questions that directors, speakers and other intending participants might wish to consider ahead of the event and subsequently discuss in Dubai. These embrace areas to be covered in the convention’s plenary panel sessions, namely: board strategy for driving business excellence in turbulent times; building resilient organisations through visionary leadership, creativity and innovation; strategies and cultures for creativity and entrepreneurship; preparing for COP28 and aiming for net zero; pursuing excellence and innovation in a digital economy; building a strategic roadmap for economic, political and social growth; and adapting strategy and good governance for journeys to sustainable excellence. The theme paper concludes by advocating that both leadership and innovation should be responsible and that strategic direction and renewed purpose and drive are urgently required. Because it takes time to initiate, plan and undertake innovation activities, explore and assess options; and develop, test, launch, evaluate, refine and roll out resulting approaches and solutions, fence sitting, avoidance behaviour and prevarication must be avoided while there is still a window in which to act before certain existential threats become unstoppable.
