Organisations struggle to respond to globalisation and global instability, artificial intelligence, the 4th industrial revolution and relentless change in a way that is cohesive and sustainable.

Leaders struggle to make the shift towards a new BANI (brittle, anxious,non-linear and incomprehensible) world that requires brand new thinking, being and doing. In  a fast paced world, leadership styles that worked before don’t work anymore as a shift  is required towards psychological safety, authenticity and a more human approach. 

As new generations enter the workforce, managers are grappling with a new set of challenges. While this younger generation brings fresh perspectives, creativity, and strong technological aptitude, it also introduces shifting workplace expectations that can affect productivity and efficiency if not managed effectively. The result is a growing strain on middle managers who often lack the training and support to adapt to these changes, leading to increased stress and the risk of burnout.  

Employees need more sophisticated support, as they are not aware of the complex nature of the behaviour challenges that they face. Covid was a watershed event bringing unproductive personal behaviour to the surface. This primarily manifested in the domain of resilience, but affected a wide range of behaviour related to meaning, purpose, beliefs, assumptions and 'deeper' existential issues.
