CIMA has joined up with the leading think tank Tomorrow’s Company to host the Tomorrow's Value lecture series. We invite some of the most senior figures from the global business world to explore what we mean by value – how it is created, how it can be measured and what the drivers of value creation are.
Beyond that, we are asking business leaders how they link creating business value with values. These issues are set out in depth in our briefing paper, Tomorrow’s Value.
See lectures listed by year below and in the right hand menu.
