This webinar is about the Metis Resilience concept, which combines insights from research by Metis Services’ partner psychologist Niclas Wisén’s PhD research on managing stress in extreme situations with the tactical tools for leading and performing under pressure developed by Metis Services.
The concept is battle-proven, tried and tested at healthcare intensive care units (ICUs) in Sweden during the Covid-19 pandemic. It’s been featured in both daily and periodical press. Metis Services has delivered bespoke solutions and pre-deployment training concepts since 2016.

ABOUT THE WEBINAR
This webinar is hosted by the Myanmar Institute of Directors (MIoD) with kind sponsorship from Othrys, a strategic security and advisory business. Presenter Mr. John Taylor will speak about leadership styles and how they can be applied in times of stress and conflict. He will review the trend among many authorities on the subject who are now promoting humility rather than charisma as the essential mindset of a leader in business or government.
ABOUT THE WEBINAR
Multiple studies show that female talent is among the least utilized economic and business resource around the world. At the same time, making even small improvements in closing the gender gap could quickly yield strong results. For example, a recent IFC board Gender Diversity Study in ASEAN found that board gender diversity can positively affect a company’s financial and organizational performance. And yet, women hold only 15 percent of board seats and only 4 percent of CEO and board chair positions worldwide. Considering the needs of women employees is particularly important during the COVID-19 pandemic, during which many women are facing disproportionate economic challenges, taking on additional care burdens and suffering increased risk of gender-based violence.

ABOUT THE WEBINAR
Beneficial ownership (BO), and the related concept of politically exposed persons (PEPs) are relatively new to Myanmar. They have recently been introduced into regulation through both the Myanmar Extractives Industries Transparency Initiative (MEITI) and the introduction of requirements to combat money-laundering as part of Myanmar’s response to the assessment by the OECD’s Financial Action Task Force. In November 2019, DICA issued a Directive 17/2019 on disclosure of beneficial ownership information.
This MIOD webinar (in Myanmar language) will examine what BO is and who in Myanmar is a ‘PEP’. It will offer an update from DICA on what companies need to do to comply with disclosure requirements. It will also cover wider developments in transparency of company ownership at Myanmar and international level.

ABOUT THE WEBINAR
Due to high digital connectivity, low cybersecurity awareness, growing cross-border data transfers, and weak regulations, Asia is a prime target for cyber criminals. The mass migration to work from home in response to the pandemic has further intensified the threat of severe security breaches. Instinctively, boards might understand the potential damage a breach can do, but there is often a knowledge deficit that hampers boards’ capacity to stay on top of this complex and dynamic risk. Most boards simply do not pay much attention to cyber security.
Cyber risk management is a critical element for every business (regardless of its size or sector) to thrive in a digitally connected world. Boards have a key role to play in ensuring an effective strategy is in place. This webinar will help participants to:
