All decision-making entails uncertainties and the challenges posed by risk have never been more apparent. Adaption to this “new normal” is essential.

 

Consider:

• Seismic ripples from health pandemics will reverberate throughout the foundations of society for years to come

• Increasingly volatile climate-related events are unravelling organisational plans in the short and long term

• Geopolitical tensions, populist forces, terrorism and escalating trade wars distort the once-calm waters of multinationals

• Corporate reputations are precarious and a minor error on social media can induce crisis.
