This year has been a chance for organisations to move on from the crises of 2020. It has been a time for boards to think and act more dynamically and innovatively and look at what’s on their agenda.
With this in mind, the theme for this year’s East Africa Region conference in partnership with KPMG was ‘Corporate Governance: The key to business resilience’.
