Never Too Complacent: The Power to Shape the Future
Steven Bowman FAICD
Governance, Strategy, Risk and Leadership | Managing Director at Conscious Governance
Dear Directors and Senior Executives,
I hope this newsletter finds you well. As leaders in our organisations, we are always looking for ways to stay ahead of the game and drive our companies forward. This is why I strongly believe that it is time to say goodbye to "business as usual" and embrace a new approach to leadership and governance.
We need to challenge ourselves to think outside the box and question everything that we do. This means understanding and leveraging risks, continually monitoring and tweaking strategy, embracing new and simplified ways of doing business, focusing on impact on the communities we serve, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
The phrase "no more as usual" should serve as a rallying cry for us as leaders. It's a reminder that we have the power to shape the future through each and every choice we make, and that we shouldn't be content with status quo. By embracing change, we can stay ahead of the curve and remain a force for change in today's rapidly evolving marketplace.
One of the key ways we can do this is by embracing a "no more as usual" mentality. This means breaking away from traditional processes and structures, and looking at new and innovative ways to drive business growth and success. This might involve embracing new technologies, streamlining or simplifying processes, and investing in new talent and training initiatives.
No more risk as usual
No more strategy as usual

No more decision making as usual
and this is just the start....
So let's make a commitment to leave "business as usual" behind and embrace the opportunities that come with taking a bold, innovative approach to leadership. The future is yours to shape, so don't be afraid to challenge the status quo and drive your company to new futures.
Sincerely
Steven Bowman FAICD
(This newsletter is dedicated to inspiring others to take up the "No More As Usual" rallying cry to their Boardrooms and executive meetings.)
