PURPOSE

Navigating uncharted waters

In 2023 the principal theme of the World Business Forum will be PURPOSE.

Purpose is the driving force behind all we do as individuals and as organisations. It’s what motivates our teams to achieve their highest potential. It’s the catalyst of innovation and creativity.

Having clarity on our purpose allows us to navigate through the turbulent and often uncharted waters that we are and our organisations are facing today.

Let’s put purpose at the heart of business.

of delegates recommend this event

Chris Hamman – Genetech

“I thoroughly enjoyed the event. The speakers were insightful, creative, provoking and gave much to ponder upon.”

Ann Rosey – Boston Scientific

“WOBI is giving an opportunity to just be more creative and to hear from people you might not have thought that you need to listen to. I love engaging with my peers outside of the office and having us all be thoughtful about what we are hearing and discussing it during the breaks, over lunch, I think that’s what’s really important. And thinking about how we can bring this back to our company.”

Steve Sosland – Texas Tech University

“I think it’s critically important for senior leaders to attend with somebody else from their organization because the best part of coming to a WOBI event is actually sharing that information with the others and processing it so that we can make decisions on how to move the business forward”

Michael Nila – Blue Courage (Founder and Managing Partner)

“This is far better than any other event we go to, that’s why we come here. We have been to 16 of the WOBI events from the very first one up until now, I have not missed one. I do that because we block this time out. This is our time for us to learn and to grow”

Daniela Di Pietro – Standard Products

“We have come (to this event) for three years now. Coming back is a team building experience for us as an executive group. It allows us to get out of our day to day and bond outside of the office and learn new things we can bring back.”

Arianna Huffington – Founder of the Huffington post

“I’ve spoken at many WOBI conferences around the world. I love the number of other speakers that they bring, the number of new business leaders I get to meet, and the emphasis on the cutting edge and innovative ways to build sustainable success at every business level.”

Jim Collins – Author

“It’s always a joy to come back to the World Business Forum, and there are a very few events that I come back to multiple times. I come back with a great sense of appreciation for the chance to be here, first, the quality of the people that come, they are here because they want to renew themselves and they want to grow.The second is, the sheer execution, everything runs as a well oiled machine, you know eactly what you’re doing.”

Chris Hamman – Genetech
