Roundtable: How modern leaders can embrace risk and adaptation for growth 

The past four years have brought significant challenges for UK businesses, from unprecedented leadership shifts to soaring inflation and rising corporate taxes. Yet, some organisations have thrived by boldly embracing risk and pivoting strategies to adapt to a changing landscape.

In our recent survey of over 500 business leaders across industries such as IT, retail, construction, manufacturing and finance, 86% of respondents affirmed that taking calculated risks not only strengthens their competitive position but also enhances their leadership capabilities.
