Business Strategy
Webinar: Why Organisations Fail
Corporate failure can be devastating for employees, investors and those who do business with a company, yet we still haven’t really got to grips with why it happens. Every year seems to bring another round of corporate disasters in which outwardly successful businesses with high-profile leaders suddenly collapse. Thirty years of corporate governance reform doesn’t seem to have made a lot of difference or given us much insight into the reasons why organisations fail.
What often looks like a sudden disaster is usually the result of problems building up over years and coming together in a perfect storm. This conference aimed to understand how the various aspects of potential organisational failure compound each other and eventually align to produce a catastrophic business collapse. Drawing on the varying perspectives of an expert panel, this event gave some in depth insights into the reasons that may underpin corporate failure.
