Exceptional business challenges have in recent times included uncertainties around the eventual shape of our post-Brexit trading position, the challenges of the environmental/social/governance (ESG) agendas, and the cyber threat.
Now they include Covid-19. It’s not far from a ‘perfect storm’.
So how do we react?
If we take the ‘perfect storm’ analogy a bit further, – seafarers might frame the choices in terms like this: “batten down?”, “reef?”, “seek assistance?”, “remain close-hauled, beating upwind?”, “run before the sea?”, “seek the nearest shelter?”, “pray?”, “give up”!
In fact, we don’t need to know the finer points of storm strategies at sea to know that there are comparisons with business – do we pause?; feel overwhelmed?; act boldly or cautiously?; move fast or wait and see?; remake our strategies?; jump at opportunities? … or a combination of all of these?
