• What do you see as the next ‘big thing’ that will affect your business? • How do you encourage innovation, and what’s the best way to foster that mindset? • What skills, experience and behaviours will we need from our staff in the next few years? • How do we recruit the right people who will be comfortable with change? • How can we become a greener business? • How do we make ourselves more efficient and therefore more profitable?
