Nigerian Executives Face Uncertain Business Environment, TEXEM Director Says

Caroline Lucas, the director of TEXEM UK special projects, has asserted that global executives face unprecedented challenges and uncertainties in the business environment.

Speaking on the coming face-to-face programme of TEXEM in Lagos, tagged ‘Developing Winning Strategies in Turbulent Times’, Lucas affirmed that the disruptive nature of COVID-19 was one such challenge.

According to her, the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war, and the US-China conflict have disrupted global supply chains, created a great exodus of talent to greener pastures, resulted in high inflation, spurred global slowdown and forced organisations to rethink their business models.

“In this context, executives must stay ahead of the curve and develop winning strategies to help their organisations navigate turbulent times,” Lucas added. “The ‘Winning Strategies in Turbulent Times’ programme, organised by TEXEM, is a unique opportunity for senior executives and leaders of organisations to gain practical skills and actionable insights that can help them survive uncertainty and achieve sustainable competitive advantage despite the headwinds.”

The programme is scheduled for July 12 to 13 at Wheatbaker in Lagos and is designed to provide a unique learning experience fostering growth and intellectual enrichment.

According to her, one of the key benefits of attending the programme is the opportunity for executives to engage in peer-to-peer learning.

“By attending this TEXEM programme, executives will have the opportunity to interact with industry experts, regulators, policymakers, and academics, which will broaden their horizons and expose them to new perspectives and enhance their organisation’s core competencies to turn challenges into opportunities,” Lucas stated.

She added, “Another key benefit of attending this TEXEM programme, Developing Winning Strategies in Turbulent Times, is the emphasis on self-reflection.”

A renowned professor, Rodria Laline, will deliver the Lagos programme.

Laline will leverage TEXEM’s proven and tested methodology that has helped over 4,000 executives globally to learn, challenge assumptions and unlock scarce value irrespective of the challenging operating context.
