The Future is Now: Living in a world of

disruption and innovation

Failing and underperforming businesses often utilise their limited cash resources before they are a�orded a chance to consider and execute a robust transformation and turnaround plan. As we enter a new paradigm of industrial development, Industry 4.0, to transform an underperforming business is likely to require extensive change to the operating and busi-ness models, for it to remain relevant and survive.

This session looks at the technologies being deployed by successful organisations that have embraced technology and used it to transform their businesses. What does the future hold for business that fail to innovate and where are we likely to see this happening?

• What is the scale and scope of the underlying issues?

• How are policymakers in Beijing addressing these issues?

• What deals are getting done? By whom?

• What is the nature of the underlying assets?

• Has China’s new enterprise bankruptcy law been a factor? How so? If not, is it evolving into one?

• Could this be a wonderful mountain of assets…which investors simply cannot reach?
