Why do some companies thrive while many others struggle? In our new age of disruption, a key reason is the failure of many leaders to realign the moving parts of their enterprise to reflect the new realities of their changing business environment. From their business strategies to how they are organized to support their enduring purpose, thousands of enterprises worldwide are operating below their potential simply because they’re poorly aligned or have failed to realign. This thought-provoking session is about strategic alignment and realignment, a practical leadership blueprint to overcome disruption and secure high performance sustainably. Once mastered, strategic realignment is an effective way of turning adversity into an advantage, regardless of sector.

Directly following this session, we will hear from BSC peers on their thoughts, alignments and realignments they've been making to ensure their business succeds into the future.
