The Guernsey Branch of the Institute of Directors (IoD) says tomorrow’s 2025 Spring Seminar will focus on the pressing need for change and economic growth.
The IoD recently published a report on Guernsey’s social capital, which highlighted a trend of stagnation and its impact on the island’s future economic growth, well-being and prosperity.
The annual event, formerly known as the Mid Term, will build on this theme when it takes place tomorrow morning at St Pierre Park Hotel.
Andrew Doyle, author of Reinvention Island, will be the keynote speaker.
In his book, Mr Doyle examines how Guernsey has transformed its economy seven times over the past 500 years. The most recent reinvention, the finance industry, established Guernsey as a globally recognised ‘brand’ and is now 60 years old. In his book, Mr Doyle explores the rise and fall of its six predecessors and the lessons they offer for securing the island’s future prosperity.
Following the keynote, Andrew Doyle will sit down with transformation specialist Charlotte Light for a fireside chat on reinvention and economic resilience, key themes in addressing concerns about Guernsey’s stagnation.
Drawing on her extensive experience across industries, Ms Light will share practical insights on navigating change, fostering collaboration, and building adaptive strategies to tackle the emerging challenges highlighted in the Social Capital Report from last October’s Convention.
The event is supported by headline sponsor Carey Olsen, breakfast sponsor Newgate Bovill, speaker sponsor Core Fund Services, and event sponsors Grant Thornton and Polygon.
