IN an era marked by economic uncertainty, market volatility and rapid disruption, Trevor & Associates will this month convene its inaugural “THINKTANK”, bringing together business leaders to confront the realities reshaping Zimbabwe’s corporate landscape.
The one-day strategic forum, scheduled for February 26, 2026, in Harare, is anchored in a stark premise: Zimbabwean businesses can no longer afford to wait for rescue, reform, or relief.
“Change is already here, and those who fail to act risk being left behind,” the organisation said in a statement yesterday.
“THINKTANK 2026 challenges business leaders to move beyond passive hope and into deliberate action. Markets are shifting, the boundaries between the formal and informal economy are blurring, technology is rewriting the rules, and resilience is no longer optional.
“To sit back and expect circumstances to improve is to surrender one’s agency. This forum is a call for leaders to actively shape their futures by leveraging collective skills, shared capabilities, and decisive thinking.”
Curated by the Trevor & Associates team, the programme brings together a diverse mix of thinkers and practitioners whose expertise speaks directly to the pressures and opportunities confronting Zimbabwean enterprises.
