Research Report: Is Your Organisation Built to Adapt and Survive?

New Year 2025 marked the mid-point of the 2020s. The first half of the decade was tumultuous, with the first global pandemic for a hundred years and the first invasion in Europe for eighty. The world continues to reel from the effects of the economic downturn, trade disruption and inflation that followed both.

It is looking likely, that the second half of this decade is going to be challenging for the leaders of organisations across all sectors. Business leaders will be admonished to improve productivity and general wellbeing while, at the same time, trying to manage a bewildering array of stakeholders with competing demands. Building strong and effective organisations will be essential if this is to be achieved. The aim of this report is therefore to take up the challenge proposed by Professor Chang: How will we collectively build and manage the effective organisations for the next decade?
