Resilience is critical, but when does being prepared cross the line into overkill? Some businesses invest so much in risk avoidance that they lose agility - the ability to pivot, adapt, and seize new opportunities.
Overly complex plans, redundant redundancies, and rigid structures can actually hurt your organisation in the long run.
How can you strike the right balance between resilience and flexibility? In our latest article, we explore the fine line between being prepared and being overly cautious - and how to keep your business agile in an unpredictable world.

So, you want to improve your abilities and your performance. What or who do you turn to first? A colleague? A mentor? Online or classroom training courses? Or a coach? Executives and board members often turn to a coach first. But this isn’t true for all of us. Sometimes it’s simply down to cost - the cost of a personal coach is far greater than a training course or some form of internal mentoring scheme. Whilst this is true to a large extent, so too is the return on investment. And costs aren’t always prohibitive when compared to some courses. So, the problem with coaching is that it’s often overlooked and misunderstood.
