Imagine that you and your company are facing a difficult and undesirable situation in which you, as the responsible person, have no control. How would it feel to regain control and lead the company out of that situation? What would it mean for you, your employees, customers, owners, partners, and the company’s trust and brand if you could do that?
Trade conflicts, sanctions, cyberattacks, and natural disasters in combination with self-inflicted errors such as corruption, a Me-too scandal, or child labor in a remote supply chain. On top of that we’re also facing challenges by Covid-19 outbreaks, and geopolitical risks for company’s brand and reputation.
Its not about taking the right decision. Its about preparing for different outcomes of the decision and handle them effectively and proactively.
Managers and leaders are increasingly finding themselves in unwanted situations in an ever-changing world. This can include prolonged cyber attacks, discrediting campaigns, trade conflicts, difficulties in adapting to digital transformation, as well as recruiting and retaining talented staff. This can make it problematic for companies to achieve their strategic goals and for managers and leaders to carry out their missions. Regardless of the nature of the unwanted situation, as a decision-maker, you are constantly under high pressure to make both quick and hopefully correct decisions while maintaining business operational capability.
Finding the black swan goes beyond facts and logic’s, so you need creative people helping you turning headwinds into tailwind.
We help our clients increase their ability to foresee and deal with opportunities or unwanted situations. This is done by providing a playground to make mistakes and learn to pivot. We train them in scenario-based table-top exercises but also live simulation exercises. This could be done in both smaller and larger terms depending on the organization’s specific needs and degree of maturity. Typical engagements include both scenario and case study development, planning, and conducting course
evaluation.
