Connected Economy - Disjointed Society
Reflections on the changing impact on business

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 15 May 2000

An agenda-setting business management expert is to speak at Southwark Cathedral on Tuesday 16 May 2000. Mark Goyder, Director of the Centre for Tomorrow's Company, is to give the third annual lecture for the South London Industrial Mission (SLIM). He will argue that while globalisation and technology seem to overwhelm diversity and the role of the individual, there are in fact new opportunities for people to exercise influence on companies as investors, as citizens and as employees. He will maintain that new technology combined with new approaches to ethical investment enables individuals to have a dialogue with companies.

Mark Goyder established the Centre for Tomorrow's Company in 1996 after leading the RSA inquiry "Tomorrow's Company - the role of business in a changing world". He aims to create a new language of business success, seeking to integrate leadership, and the five key relationships of customers, suppliers, employees, investors and community. He has presented Tomorrow's Company to audiences all over the world and was the 1996 winner of the IMS Tillers Millennium Trophy for the best speaker at the Institute of Management Studies Summer School. The West-End based Centre has worked with major companies such as Bovis, BT, John Lewis Partnership and Shell, as well as young pioneering companies.

The South London Industrial Mission (SLIM) is based at Christ Church, Blackfriars Bridge Road, SE1. 

Previous SLIM lectures in the series were: 

1998: David Blunkett, Secretary of State for Education, on Welfare to Work. 
1999: Heather Rabbatts, Chief Executive, Lambeth Borough Council, on Local Government in Inner London.

Ends.
