Businesses are in the spotlight as never before and consumer trust in many sectors has deteriorated badly in recent times. In this lecture, the former president and CEO of Ikea, Anders Dahlvig, explains how a clear understanding of vision and values can translate throughout the entire business into best practice and sustainable profit growth.

Anders Dahlvig is the former President and CEO of Ikea. With him at the helm from 1999-2009, Ikea enjoyed unprecedented growth and expansion, while at the same time championing the causes of social and environmental responsibility. Anders has recently written The Ikea Edge to show how motives of profit and social good can work in harmony to benefit an organisation.
