When business leaders form a stronger bond with the natural world, it can benefit their organizations, the environment, and themselves.
The business community is doubling down on its commitment to protect the natural environment. Over a fifth of the world’s 2,000 largest companies have now committed to net-zero targets. Some have even gone a step further: Bayer, Gucci, Nestlé, and Starbucks, among others, recently comm

The more prepared you are the better you will facilitate. The less likely you will vacillate at a difficult moment.
Regardless, the ability to effectively facilitate a workshop is a wonderful skill to develop. When I facilitate I concentrate on three things:

Over the last few weeks, I have encouraged you to look at risk workshops as pathways to creating clarity for teams about what is between them and success. Sensemaking or making sense of the world.
The secret to successful risk workshops is the preparation you undertake. I know you are busy, and preparing takes time. However, if there is one tip I give that I wish you would take and always follow, it’s to over-prepare for a risk workshop. The more you prepare the more insights you can create for t
At all levels of a corporation, key decisions have to be made quickly. This is particularly critical at the strategic level, when senior executives are expected to have an exceptional talent for systematic and organized decision-making. However, this is not simple, and there is also no clear path to follow.
There is a plethora of studies and thought leadership around formulating and implementing strategy—but little on maturing into a leader with exceptional judgment abilities. Chief Executive Off
Finding the right balance between continuity and change can help leaders better manage the cultural changes that occur during a digital transformation.
Digital transformation transcends technology and business models. Organizational culture also plays a critical role in successfully leading an organization into the digital era; indeed, the success of a digital transformation relies on a deep understanding of th
Selecting ground-breaking new projects for additional investment and expansion is risky and difficult, as new ideas are fraught with technological and market uncertainty. There will always be winners and losers in the process of evaluating Capital Investment projects for funding, but no one wants to be the decision-maker who missed a fantastic investment opportunity.
According to research, project selections can go wrong as a result of the following 5 issues within the expert panel formed to sele
It’s time to rethink managerial assumptions that may hold back organizational transformation.
The digital transformation era — and the pandemic era that is adding to the challenge — calls for a shift in leadership mindset. It’s essential to challenge the assumptions that we use to make decisions and identify valuable opportunities. Those assumptions allow experienced leaders to make choices efficiently in a comple

DMAIC methodology is one of the most widely used concepts to improve a process or function. They can also be used for creating strategies, work-flow, and most importantly conduct and implement Six Sigma projects.
If you want to learn about what DMAIC is, how it works, read: DMAIC: Approach to Continuous Improvement.
Now, let’s discuss how to choose good projects for DMAIC and Six Sigma. It’s one thing to pick a topic and dissect it, it’s a completely different aspect whether it benefits your organ
Recessions compel leaders of practically all organizations around the world to consider the consequences of a deeply disruptive crisis.
When confronted with a crisis, some leaders shine, causing their companies to grow stronger. Some appear to be stumbling. Others are merely bystanders while their organizations crumble.
Organizations that survive major disruptions are likely to emerge stronger and better prepared to predict and prepare for the next one.
Leaders of organizations are ultimately re
Two years into the pandemic, we’re in a moment when both leaders and employees are trying to make sense of how the experience has changed them and imagining what comes next. In a webinar I led in early February with 250 people from over 100 companies around the world, many leaders expressed that they are feeling “betwixt and between” the certainties of the past and the unknowns of the future.
Three messages came through l
Sensemaking. This is the answer to my question last week about why risk workshops should deliver the success your audience craves. Yes, they identify risks to help us understand the uncertainty surrounding the objectives we wish to achieve. However, in doing so, we are helping the business make sense of a crazy world.
