The Corporate Revolution

The Corporate Revolution, written by bestselling author David Williams, is a timely exploration of how corporations are redefining their purpose and reshaping governance models in response to mounting expectations for greater transparency, accountability, and ethical leadership. This authorised biography of the extraordinary life of Professor Mervyn King offers a comprehensive look at the shifting paradigms of corporate success, moving beyond the traditional focus on profit maximization to a broader, more inclusive model that considers environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors.

During the KPMG-hosted webinar, Professor King and David Williams share key themes from the book and discuss how these ideas are influencing business practices today.

What’s Next for Corporate Governance?

As businesses face growing pressure to embrace sustainability, diversity, and inclusivity, The Corporate Revolution serves as both a call to action and a blueprint for navigating this new corporate landscape. During the webinar, Professor King and David Williams outlined how companies can lead the charge toward a future where ethical practices, stakeholder engagement, and long-term value creation are at the heart of business strategy.

This engaging and informative discussion, expertly facilitated by Michelle Dubois, KPMG Board Leadership Centre—Southern Africa Chapter Lead, underscores the importance of corporate leaders evolving with the times, understanding the broader impact of their decisions, and embracing a new corporate governance model that aligns with modern society's expectations.
