Dear SAMED Leaders (including SAMED committees)
It’s time for medtech to reach escape velocity as we elevate our industry to new heights.
Escape Velocity recognises that one of the greatest influencers on business performance is the environment in which we operate. In a sentence, when it comes to building businesses, context matters.
One of the most important drivers of business performance is the economic setting. Put simply: “no country, no company”. When it comes to South Africa, there is no shortage of tough news and economic headwinds.
In this keynote address, Professor Adrian Saville will explore South Africa’s economic circumstance, and map the prospects for the country and companies. Alongside country prospects, the session will share company cases of transformation through innovation and what this means for competitive strategies in the medtech sector.
We talk as if we’re Chile, we fear we’re Venezuela and we act as if we’re Argentina. Working within this context, our task in business – and as corporate citizens – is to build brilliant.
We invite you to join the next in-person Captains of Industry Forum to identify perspectives of “what is possible” over “what is wrong” and co-create a strategy that is relevant and impactful for SAMED, its members and the medtech sector.
Professor Adrian Saville, Gordon Institute of Business and Science (GIBS) faculty member and owner of investment firm Genera Capital will facilitate how we transform to meet these challenges.
Prof has held a Professorship of Economics, Finance & Strategy at the Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) since 2003, where he teaches in the fields of macroeconomics, investment finance and strategy.
