Young and budding SMEs and CEOs have been urged to prioritise good corporate governance structures so as to secure sustained growth and stability. 

This was made known at the launch of the 2nd edition of the Ghana SME and Young CEOs summit which saw the chairman of the summit, Dr Daniel McKorley, calling for more discipline and focus from SMEs and young CEOs. 

The launch of the 2nd edition of the Ghana SME and Young CEOs summit saw key CEOs advice budding entrepreneurs on the best ways to survive in their various business endeavours. 

According to the Executive Chairman of Mcdan Group, Dr Daniel Mckorley, most SME’s are folding up fast not because of the high cost of doing business but rather the lack of good corporate governance and attitude to work.

“Our theme, therefore, calls on all and sundry to think deeply about the role of good corporate governance and leadership not only in the health of businesses but also in the overall stability of the economy,” he said.

On his part, CEO and founder of the Chief Executives Network, Ernest De-Graft Egyir explained how the summit seeks to equip SMEs and young CEOs with the needed tools to penetrate the Ghanaian industry.

The summit which will be held on November 26, 2018, seeks to assemble various young and innovative business owners and entrepreneurs in the Small and Medium Scale Enterprise to share ideas. It is under the theme, “Corporate Leadership governance and technology: Strong pillars for business and economic growth.”

The summit shall adapt panels, plenary sessions and open forum for lively and thought-provoking discussions. 

Attendees will also have the chance to share insights, ask questions and draw on the knowledge and experience of these experts.
