Innovation is no longer a concept in the exclusive domain of managers and engineers. In the 21st century, there is a need to apply the concept of Innovation to raise the apogee of effectiveness in all areas-Business, Government and Society. The punishing aspect about innovation is that the contest never ends. When firms create a new market, others join the race. When one remedy is prescribed, out comes another social evil. Parry one threat up props another-even a pandemic. The third in the series of leadership conferences, the virtual conference will focus on how organisations can survive and thrive in this environment.

The sub-themes listed below include multiple facets of innovation that would be covered in the conference. The list is an indicator of the broad nature of the topic, other titles that are aligned to the overall theme can also be included.
