Abstract

Theme paper for 31st World Congress on Leadership for Excellence and Innovation. As awareness grows of the likely consequences of current activities and lifestyles, aspirations, expectations and priorities are changing. The 31st World Congress on Leadership for Excellence and Innovation provides a platform for the review and rethink of board leadership and the relevance and role of excellence and innovation in relation to contemporary challenges and related opportunities. This Theme Paper raises questions for participants and directors and boards more generally to consider in relation to the event’s agenda and areas that could be covered, including corporate board leadership in challenging times; board diversity, independent directors and business excellence; legislative and compliance driven principled corporate governance; business excellence and creating a world class organisation; innovation purpose and priorities; fostering disruptive innovation in a digital economy; recognising limits to excellence and innovation; and excellence and innovation in a family owned business. Whether or not an individual company is excellent and/or innovative may be less important than whether a community or society is, and whether we have the individual and collective will and drive to question, think and act in pursuit of responsible, inclusive and sustainable activities, lifestyles and outcomes for us and the natural world. The World Congress on Leadership for Excellence and Innovation is organised by India’s Institute of Directors.
