Wishing our North American team and network a very happy 4th of July 🇺🇸  #IndependenceDay  #FourthOfJuly

Last year, we hosted a breakfast roundtable, 'Economics, Disputes & Investigations,' in New York. This event brought together industry leaders to address the complexities of the current economic landscape and explore its implications for disputes and investigations. The discussion centred around the influence of economic conditions on transactional due diligence, litigation dynamics, and the strategic role of AI in reshaping business practices whilst delving into evolving trends in ESG & sustainability, corporate restructuring, regulatory activities, and the impact of recent jury verdicts on legal negotiations.

In our recent episode of Spotlight On, Alex Dyke is joined by Christine Rupp, Managing Director of IBM for Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, to discuss the pivotal role of female leadership in the era of AI. Here, they explore the strategic imperative for this leadership, highlighting the significant gap between the demand for women's leadership to counter gender bias and their representation in strategic AI-focussed roles. Christine shares insights into IBM's concerted efforts to bridge this gap, focusing on targeted upskilling programs and events to boost female leadership and participation. The episode discusses effective strategies to enhance women's confidence in their AI leadership capabilities, underlining the importance of mentorship, role modeling, and allyship. Christine emphasises the critical need for ethical considerations, trust, and transparency in AI's development and implementation, in line with IBM's 5 Pillars and the EU AI Act.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Women in Strategy roundtable breakfast in Singapore this week.     The discussion emphasised the importance of diversity, mentorship, and role modelling, whilst recognising and overcoming barriers to progress. We addressed managing remote teams while leveraging technology and embracing inclusivity, the challenges of balancing work and personal life, and the value of vulnerability and authenticity in leadership.   We look forward to hosting more events in this series, facilitating the exchange of ideas and experiences, and creating an environment that truly supports diversity, equity, and inclusion.   Please reach out to Hartaz Kaur or Michelle Chia if you'd like to receive the key takeaways from the event. #womeninstrategy #diversity #careerprogression
