Journalist and former investment manager, Adam Johnson, will be a featured speaker at BFSB's January 2014 International Business & Finance Summit (IBFS), scheduled for January 23-26 at Sandals Emerald Bay, Exuma.
Bloomberg TV Anchor Johnson will speak to the power of innovative and creative thinking in growing and sustaining business, and how strategic management of innovation has to be a part of corporate strategy.
He will showcase examples of diverse types of business operations where this has proven to be the case, time and time again, according to a release from the BFSB.
BFSB CEO Aliya Allen said: "IBFS 2014, under the theme 'Survival of the Fittest', will explore how The Bahamas continues to evolve as a preeminent international centre for business and finance, adapting to the ever-changing regulatory environment as necessary. It will look also at changes on the financial horizon, and showcase the best practices and strategies for success adopted by this jurisdiction."
Specific topic areas for this IBFS session entitled "Innovation Nation: How the World's Smartest CEOs are Revolutionizing Business", will include adaptation as a necessity of survival and redefining success and the corporate mission - "Who are we really?"
