16 Surviving Cascading Crises: Leadership, Networked Effect, and Tech

Loading player...
Adapting to Disruption with Agility and a Fresh Leadership Approach.

In this episode, hosts Rob and Jonathan dive into the shifting tides in professional services, highlighting how traditional structures struggle against the ongoing "cascading crises." They discuss the strategic absurdity of "merger FOMO" and the assumption that size alone brings resilience; the opportunity created by Gen Z; and the need to constantly recognise that none of us is an expert in everything.

They champion strategic agility and the importance of building networked, multidisciplinary and multi-generational teams, internally and externally, to harness diverse expertise. They also challenge firms to reconsider entrenched leadership models, embrace change, and acknowledge the risk of technology normalisation in the face of transformative tech. Tune in for a forward-looking perspective on surviving — and thriving — in a disruptive era.
