Session 1 Overview

Global pandemics; social unrest; war in the Ukraine; disrupted supply chains; the great resignation; technology innovations; unexpected competition – these kinds of sudden surprises are becoming the “new normal.” Executives and boards of directors are increasingly accepting the reality that disruption is becoming a constant they must manage. Merely managing “normal” operations can be foolish in light of the rapid speed of change in today’s global marketplace. Business leaders are realizing the importance of preparing for the unexpected as they seek to increase their agility and nimbleness for navigating whatever may emerge. Mark will outline how organizations are leveraging lessons learned from their experiences of navigating the past two years to proactively strengthen their preparation for future disruptions.  He  will outline practical steps business leaders can take to increase their agility and nimbleness for managing disruptions that are guaranteed to continue.

Session 1 Learning Objectives

  • Identify lessons learned in navigating the past two years
  • Recognize the value of enhancing agility and nimbleness
  • Pinpoint questions executives and boards can ask to assess their level of preparedness for unexpected disruptions
  • Develop strategies for assessing potential weak points that may be stressed by an unexpected event
  • Use a “bow-tie” tool to assess the entity’s level of preparedness for navigating a disruption
  • Explore techniques for developing a “watch list” of potential exposures that may emerge in the short-term and the long-term
