Title: Design Driven Strategy

What comes first: Design or Strategy? In this Suzhou Executive Academy session, three seasoned designers will give their unique view on this everlasting question.

Time: 18:30 - 21:00, July 11, 2019

Agenda:

18:30 – 19:00 Welcome Reception (Refreshment provided)

19:00 – 21:00 Keynote Speech and Discussion

The Suzhou Executive Academy (SEA) is a unique education platform created by International Business School Suzhou (IBSS) at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) for business leaders in the Yangtze River Delta region. SEA events bring together a community of like-minded business and academic professionals and offer a global insight into a variety of business issues, as well as the unique access to a high-level executive network.

China's multifaceted economy combined with a complex and changeable regulatory environment is a mix of both opportunities and challenges for those who are doing business, working and studying in China. Thus, the SEA's mission is to seek out and to debate the most pressing and relevant business, economic and social issues nationally and internationally. Then, combine all of this with the latest academic points of view (created through in-depth knowledge and research) and the practical know-how of key individuals from public and leading private organisations.

The SEA is organized in regular evening seminars – one every three to four weeks from 6pm to 8:30pm - during which a topic is presented and debated among the participants in a friendly academic environment which allows managers and entrepreneurs to meet peers representing different industries in an open platform created to debate and discuss together common points of interest.

The SEA aims to become the focal point of the business community of Suzhou and the Yangtze River Delta region!
