Strategic Leadership

Aligning Talent with Business Priorities

Following the success of our CEO Roundtable events in 2024, I am pleased to invite you to our first CEO Roundtable of 2025, focused on one of the most pressing challenges for business leaders: How to align leadership and talent with your most critical business priorities.

Date: Thursday, 20 March 2025
Time:  12 noon for 12.15pm start. Event closes by 1.45pm.
Location: TRANSEARCH Boardroom, Level 10/333 Collins Street, Melbourne
Light lunch:  Please advise your dietary requirements when booking

A key takeaway from our last session, CEO Outlook 2025, was the need for agility and precision — leaders are reshaping their business models to capitalise on market shifts while navigating risk and uncertainty.

Ensuring that the right leaders are in place to drive business success is more critical than ever. How confident are you that your organisation is deploying its top talent effectively?

Key themes we will explore:

• How do you align your top leadership and talent with your highest value opportunities and challenges?
• Is your current succession strategy building future leaders or just filling gaps?
• How do you balance immediate business demands with long-term leadership and capability growth?

To help facilitate this discussion, we will be joined by Sally Young, a highly regarded executive who has played a pivotal role in shaping leadership strategies at some of Australia’s most successful organisations, including Reece Group, Bupa, Coles, and Unilever.Sally will help draw out key insights from the group, challenge perspectives, and add depth to our discussion — rather than presenting.

Held under Chatham House Rules, this confidential Roundtable is an opportunity for CEOs to share candid insights, challenge thinking, and learn from each other in a collegiate and forward-focused environment.

Places are strictly limited — register now to confirm your attendance.

We look forward to another highly engaging and thought-provoking discussion.
