HSBC UK’s Strategies for Success series will arrive in London, on 12 November, bringing business leaders together to exchange ideas, learn from experienced speakers and explore new ways to grow their companies.
The free event forms part of HSBC UK’s Small Business Growth Programme and will feature entrepreneur and former Dragons’ Den investor Piers Linney MBE.
Alongside economic insights and a session on how artificial intelligence can add value for small businesses, the event will offer practical ideas on leadership, productivity, technology and sustainable growth.
Speaking to business owners and decision-makers from across London, Piers will share his experience of building businesses during a fireside chat. A roundtable discussion will give attendees the opportunity to exchange perspectives and consider how the event’s insights could apply to their own companies.
The event will also feature HSBC UK customer business Joss Search & Selection, a specialist recruiter of business support professionals for private equity, hedge funds and alternative investment firms.
With businesses across the capital balancing day-to-day priorities with plans for growth, the event will provide time to step back, explore new approaches and connect with others facing similar decisions. Attendees will also have access to a Business Specialist Lounge, offering opportunities for one-to-one conversations with HSBC Business Specialists and information on the Small Business Growth Programme, HSBC Women’s Business Growth Initiative and Microsoft training tools.
The programme will include:
Economic insights into the big shifts impacting small businesses
A session on how artificial intelligence can add value for small businesses
A fireside chat with Piers Linney MBE
A roundtable discussion to exchange ideas with other business owners
Networking and access to HSBC Business Specialists and growth resources
Piers Linney MBE said: “Ambition creates opportunities, but lasting growth requires clear decisions and the confidence to act. Successful businesses stay focused on the problems they solve, listen to customers and adapt when plans change.
Today’s technology gives smaller companies new ways to improve productivity, understand their markets and compete at scale, but strong leadership and disciplined execution remain essential. I look forward to sharing practical lessons with London’s entrepreneurs and discussing how they can use their strengths, networks and technology to take the next step with confidence.”
