As leaders face AI disruption, economic volatility, and talent gaps, resilience will depend on rethinking how risk is approached—and who’s equipped to lead through it. #LeadershipStrategy #BoardLeadership #RiskReady #OrganizationalResilience https://bit.ly/4349Ua2

When the internet first emerged, few executives understood its protocols. But the winners didn’t need to — they saw the implications: new customers, new models, new industries. AI is at the same inflection point. The critical question for leaders isn’t how does it work? but what does it mean for us? From my perspective, the implications fall into three dimensions: Workforce – Which roles will be reshaped, and what new skills will we need? Risk – How do we govern ethical, legal, and reputational exposures? Value Creation – Where will efficiency gains or new business models emerge? Competitive advantage will go to leaders who focus on these dimensions — translating disruption into strategy before competitors do. 👉 Which of these three do you think most organisations are underestimating today? #AITransformation #FutureOfWork #BusinessStrategy #DigitalLeadership #ConsultingInsights
