    Talk of unprecedented uncertainty, the new normal of ambiguity, and the unknown surround our leadership dialogue, but the hyper chatter around current industry and market conditions consistently misses the fundamental notion of uncertainty: whether it is good or bad depends on what you are trying to do, and how you are set up. Dr. Homkes will kick off our focused set of conversations by encouraging us to do just this: embrace uncertainty, prepare for the future rather than constantly planning for the downside, and build organizational and leadership capabilities around the constant resets uncertainty forces us to make. She will walk us through her proven approach to growth through any market condition and equip us with a powerful toolkit to leading our companies and teams on the journey.

    Preparing your organization for a breach can help to understand key individual’s roles and identify gaps and exposure points for when the unthinkable happens. While it’s important to focus on prevention, your backup environment is your last, and perhaps most critical, line of defense.
