Activism poses a looming and continuous challenge, making corporate governance even more complex. The economic picture in all regions remains dynamic and sustainable global growth continues to be elusive.
Against this backdrop, key strategic decisions to drive growth, increase returns, or gain a competitive edge are difficult and complex.
