At a time of rapid transformation in business ecosystems, the conference brings together business leaders, policy makers and academics to discuss strategies for creating and realising value.

The conference will include presentations and panel discussions on changing definitions and measurement of value, value creation in fast-changing industries such as automotive, aviation and health technology, and teaching value and value creation.

As Imperial does best, this conference will spotlight excellence in research with a dedicated session where standout researchers and doctoral students present their latest work. An opportunity to gain insights into cutting-edge research, real-world applications, and emerging frameworks shaping the future of value creation.

Conference programme

The conference programme includes presentations and panel discussions on the latest thinking on changing definitions and measurement of value, value creation in fast-changing industries, and teaching value and value creation. After the conference, on the morning of 21 November, there will be a workshop on ‘Tri-Sector Innovation’, a strategic framework that integrates the compelling resources and capabilities of the private, public, and social sectors to create value.

We have a distinguished lineup of speakers and panellists. These include globally recognised experts such as Curt Carlson (former President, Stanford Research Institute), Prof. Can Uslay (Rutgers Business School), Luis Philip Lages (NOVA School of Business & Economics), Jens Molbak (NewImpact), Fathi Tlatli (DHL Automotive), Dilnisin Bayel (Accenture), Robert Passikoff (Brand Keys), Steve Denning (Senior Contributor, Forbes), Professor Jaideep Prabhu (Judge School of Business, University of Cambridge). Their insights and experience will set the stage for high-impact discussions on the future of value creation across industries.

Where to Stay & What to Do

We’ve curated a selection of local hotels, restaurants and attractions near Imperial Business School to help with your planning. If you’re open to staying slightly farther afield—just a few stops by Tube or a short taxi ride—you may find a wider range of accommodation options and better value for money.

Collaboration

The conference is brought to you in collaboration with the Centre for Sectoral Economic Performance (CSEP), the Creating Value Alliance and the Journal of Creating Value.  If you would like further information, please contact James Barlow – j.barlow@imperial.ac.uk or Gautam Mahajan –  gautam.mahajan@gmail.com.
