In her recently released book titled “Gloom to Boom,” Dr. Andrea Bonime-Blanc, Founder & CEO of GEC Risk Advisory, a global governance, risk, ethics and cyber advisory firm, makes the assertion that leaders take risks but often without fully understanding risk at a strategic level.
“For many leaders, including board members, taking risk without knowledge or preparation can lead to organizational crisis, scandal and value destruction,” says Dr. Bonime-Blanc. Conversely, for those who are prepared, she says, resilience follows and so does the ability to transform risk into opportunity and value for stakeholders.
The book explores surviving and thriving in turbulent times. There’s a section on navigating through the “Scylla and Charybdis” of Environment, Society, Governance and Technology (ESGT) and then the focus switches to “Boom” and how to achieve sustainable resilience and value.
