For boards, executive teams and the risk, strategy and finance functions that brief them.
Two services and the record that ties them to your decisions.
The questions that could move your earnings, kept under review between meetings and connected to your exposures.
You receive the operating update at the cadence you choose, and the Board brief before each meeting or decision.
One decision challenged before you commit: how suppliers, competitors, regulators and markets could move.
You receive a wargame readout with the options, the counter-case and the signposts that would change the answer.
Every decision dated, with an owner, the assumptions it rests on and the date it will be reviewed.
You receive a record your next Board, and your auditors, can read.
A focused Board or CXO engagement to explore unexpected futures, rehearse responses and decide what would change your course.
Before the session, agree the strategic choice, assumptions, financial baseline and information gaps.
Compare a central case with supported alternatives. Explore how competitors, suppliers, customers or governments might respond.
Use appropriate what-if, counterfactual and simulation methods within the agreed scope. Examine costs, feasibility and reversibility.
Record response options, owners, unresolved questions and signposts that return to continuous anticipation.
A Board or executive sponsor, the accountable strategy or risk owner, Finance, relevant operating leaders and agreed specialist perspectives. Preparation matters as much as the retreat.
A concise decision brief, challenged assumptions, competing mechanisms, financial sensitivities, response options and monitoring commitments. Preserve useful dissent as well as the agreed next steps.
The sample Board brief, on the page. Read it before you talk to anyone.
A prolonged disruption to a critical shipping route could reduce sales and earnings. Management asks the Board to approve validating an alternative supply option, and its cost, before committing funds.
