IAN SMITH AND SIR BRIAN BENDER

Please join us for the next Speakers Breakfast on Thursday 26th November at 28 Portland Place, London W1. We will be joined by two powerful leadership speakers, with the emphasis on driving recovery. 

Until recently, SIR BRIAN BENDER was Permanent Secretary to Lord Mandelson at the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform. Brian has overseen BERR's efforts to help business weather the recession and prepare for recovery. Amongst other themes he will address the challenge for both public and private sectors to achieve more with less, and the leadership lessons learned from managing crisis.

IAN SMITH was head of Oracle UK, Ireland and Israel. As Larry Ellison’s most successful MD, he secured the single biggest deal in Oracle history - for $650m. Amongst other roles, he now serves as President of the Institute of Customer Service. Ian explains how technology should not be used to automate ancient processes but to help re-invent them, and to free individuals to improve the customer experience.

Tea, coffee and croissants will be served from 8.30am. The first speaker will take the floor at 9.00, and after an opportunity for Q&A we are scheduled to finish by 10.15.

WEBB & POLLARD KICK OFF JLA SPEAKERS BREAKFAST SEASON

Wednesday 14th October saw the launch of the Autumn 09 season of Speakers Breakfasts, all of which are at 28 Portland Place, London W1. The first event saw Justin Webb offer an insight into the challenges facing Obama as he attempts to lead the G20 towards recovery. Before his recent move to Radio 4’s Today programme Justin served as BBC North America Editor, securing the only in-depth British press interview with President Obama at the White House (watch clip). Justin was joined by Fleet Street legend Eve Pollard. She has edited both the Sunday Mirror and Express, and launched Elle in the States – where she too came into contact with Presidents. She now works with the Competition Commission and Wellbeing of Women, and lectures on the media. Together Eve and Justin covered everything from the future of the newspaper industry to the future of the western world.
