As the pandemic and other forces continue to rock the global business world, companies have quickly adjusted and altered priorities to remain stable and, in some cases, grow. Through it all, business executives have had to be agile, leading their companies while leaning into extreme winds of change.
In response, TAPPI’s PIMA Division has created a series of virtual sessions throughout the month of September to provide content and support for critical decisions made by executives, mill/plant managers, emerging leaders, and suppliers. The series kicks off Thursday, September 3, at 11:00 a.m. (EDT) with a State of the Industry panel featuring:
• Georges Ugeux
Chairman and CEO, Galileo Global Advisors; Lecturer in Law, International Banking and Finance, Columbia Law School
“Is the World Economy Sinking?”
• Matt Elhardt
Vice President, Global Sales, Fisher International
“Key Issues and Trends in Today’s Global Pulp, Paper and Tissue Industry : COVID-19 and its Impact”
• Graeme Rodden
Senior Editor, North & South America, Paper360°
“The World is Changing: Can the Industry Accept It?”
Sessions take place Wednesdays and Thursdays throughout the month, each beginning at 11:00 a.m. (EDT). Additional topics include:
- Engaging a Generational Workforce; The Future of Leadership
- The Pillars of the Digital Mill
- Evolving Mill Culture for the Industrial Age to the Digital Age
- Mill Leadership in the Age of COVID-19/Superintendent’s Roundtable
- Problem Solving and Creating Positive Change.
