When the proverbial hits the fan at an organisation, the reputational fall out can be massive. The media, stakeholders, and regulators circle like a shark with the taste of blood, while the organisation must respond and fast. It is likely that the reputational damage is already done, and the trust of stakeholders is lost, but […]

Survival of the fittest has always considered intelligence to be an evolutionary advantage amongst humans. In more recent times, studies have shown that critical thinking skills can be more predictive of positive outcomes than raw intelligence. In a growing global marketplace of multi-culture companies and corporates, can critical thinking skills operate as a common denominator […]

A new wave of responsibility has recently surged. As of 1 July 2019, the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority (APRA) introduced CPS 234.
