Lately, it feels like “resilience” has popped up as the answer to just about everything. Having a hard time because of a toxic environment? Just be resilient. Struggling to home-school your kids while working 50-hour weeks during a global pandemic? Try some resilience.

Do Validate

The workshop is over. The hard work is done. The Chair, CEO or team leader has taken you aside and thanked you for such an enlightening workshop. Job done!

No, it’s not.

The last thing you need to do is make sure you are helping the team with sensemaking, not nonsense making. The key is a reality-check with the team with the team post the workshop. Not straight after, at least a day, if not a week. Let memories wane a little and then revisit the outcomes and ask a few questions:

Don’t Vacillate

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:

  • To be in service of those in the room. I’m not the star.
  • To stimulate critical and creative thinking. I need to unlock their minds.
  • To be an advocate for everyone in the room. I will protect and promote.

In doing so you will encounter tense momen

Making Sense

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

10310709879?profile=RESIZE_400xAt 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

10301585288?profile=RESIZE_400xSelecting ground-breaking new projects for additional investment and expansion is risky and difficult, as new ideas are fraught with technological and market uncertainty.

3 Phases of Managing Disruption

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.

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.

Sensemaking

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.

We should not be extracting information from a reluctant team, nor should we be collecting risks to report to the Audit and Risk Committee to get a pat on the back as a job well don
