Governing Strategic Systems: Excelling in complex environments

Evolving Enterprises: Stories of Growth Transformation

I'm delighted to welcome Mark Baker for a second podcast exploring governing strategic systems. Mark talks about balancing the conversation at senior levels between risk and opportunity. Practical application of foresight and linking this with organisational purpose. We talk about methods and applications for anticipating outcomes of decisions. Does the allocation of resources mirror the priorities of the organisation? We talk about holding competing ideas at the same time and rigorously assessing them. Mark shares the type of questioning he uses to have productive conversations about risk. We talk about resilience thinking and how senior leaders can excel within a difficult work environment. Mark is a scholar practitioner, a researcher and a management consultant. Mark also lectures both at Milton Keynes and at Cranfield Universities.
