The senior leaders of a business confront the highest levels of complexity and uncertainty. It falls to them to identify new opportunities and formulate and implement strategy, whilst ensuring they are prepared for risks and unexpected developments. For this, they need agility, resilience and insight. Leaders also need to appreciate that they do not stand outside the risk landscape – they are part of it.

 

Understanding ‘risk’ or ‘leadership’ in isolation is not enough. Unless leaders can bridge the gap between these two dimensions, blind spots develop and leadership risks are left to incubate unchecked. This can mean that:

• Emerging threats and issues are overlooked

• Resource, attention and energy are misallocated

• Governance is compromised

 

With our approach, clients achieve a deeper understanding and awareness of themselves and their businesses. This helps them align their attention, thinking and leadership approach with the current and future opportunities and threats.
