Better navigation with a risk and strategy double act

Risk and strategy together for navigating the future

We have all heard stories of organisations that suffered a lethal strategic surprise. From the outside, and in retrospect, we wonder how they could have missed it.

Yet many organisations are confident they know their business and operating environment intuitively. They are comfortable thinking about risk informally during strategy sessions.

In these organisations, risk management often sits in a corner, a stand-alone activity and separate team, solely focused on downside risk. Meanwhile, strategy has centre stage.

Bringing the two together can help minimise the blind spots that can lead to strategic surprise.

Adding structured risk conversations and processes can help challenge bias and assumptions about the current controls and operating environment.
