Description
Canadian businesses have recently endured many disruptions, including shareholder activism, sharp drops in share prices, negative oil prices, negative investor sentiment, a lingering global pandemic, global supply chain challenges, BLM, the Great Resignation, and so on.
Any of the disruptions could undo an organization, let alone the compounding effect of all of them. Many businesses have survived and even thrived through the challenges, and many have failed.
What was the difference? Why is one business fragile and another one robust?
Our course helps you look beyond the traditional view of risk (impact x probability) and risk management, to instead focus on identifying organizational fragilities and anti-fragilities as a way of effectively navigating random, adverse risk effects.
Objectives
This session focuses on:
- What is “antifragile” and why it is important to organizations
- How the antifragile assessment relates to and builds on the traditional Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework
- What properties in organizations contribute to fragility, robustness and antifragility
- What antifragile assessments look like
- Why options are so important to organizations and are a key to unlocking antifragility
- Why executive teams and boards have authentically gained confidence in their organization’s ability to withstand shocks
- How this evaluation is extremely cost effective in relation to traditional ERM programs
- Who can be a champion behind antifragile assessments
