This event will take place online only.

The climate emergency and social inequality are profound and pressing problems, thrown into sharp relief by the COVID crisis, that can only be solved if we harness the enormous potential of entrepreneurs, innovation and enterprise.
The world needs business at its best – creating good jobs, helping to fix pressing problems and adding value to society. But at precisely this point in history, trust in business is low and examples abound of poor governance leading not just to poor business outcomes but harmful damage to communities and the environment. We don’t need to accept these outcomes as inevitable, but rather strive to do better in our boardrooms. Voters, consumers and investors expect this now. Research shows that UK voters and consumers want business to do better. Three quarters of the UK public think business has a responsibility to protect the environment and the majority favour brands that do good in the world.
What do we mean by better? This means freeing decision-makers in business to act in everyone’s long term interests – combining traditions of good stewardship and responsibility with new ideas to meet the challenges of the 21st century. There is evidence that business in the UK has taken the lead in reforming its practices around purpose, but we need the statutes and policies to ensure these become the norm. Specifically, this means putting purpose at the heart of company law and the fiduciary responsibility of directors.
A small change in the law will make a big change in the world. It will allow businesses to make decisions in all of our long term interests, helping to create a fairer, greener future.

Your business’ growth depends on your ability to sell and get new customers through the door quickly. But many of us recoil from the thought (let alone action) of selling and networking.
Catalyst – using personal chemistry to convert contacts into contracts was written during lockdown to help businesses get back on their feet and to tackle two problems head on. Firstly, the snobbish prejudice held by many British organisations that selling is a dirty, vulgar activity and that chasing new clients isn’t something reputable companies should have to do. Secondly, to unwrap the layers of jargon and management speak that have wrapped themselves around what is actually a very simple human activity – the thrill of the chase.
Catalyst co-author Louisa Clarke will expose the ‘conspiracy of nonsense’ built up around business development. She will provide practical advice on how to catalyse relationships – creating connections between human beings that change fortunes – demystifying the science and art of business development. Her aim is to help people enjoy business development and, by doing so, do it more effectively. If you need more clients to buy your services and you’re not sure how to find, convince or win them, this is the talk for you.
Tickets are priced at £30+VAT for BCI members and £45+VAT for non-members. The ticket price includes a copy of the book ‘Catalyst – using personal chemistry to convert contacts into contracts’.
Louisa works with leaders and high performing teams for some of the world’s best companies. An experienced facilitator and qualified coach with an outstanding new business track record, Louisa is a Partner at The Caffeine Partnership – a strategic consultancy that delivers brand-led growth. She regularly coaches, consults and trains on how to improve personal impact and influence, prospect for new business more effectively, pitch to win and grow more business from your existing clients. A former Great Britain junior international rower and current masters rower, she brings a competitive track record to motivate people under pressure.
