DESCRIPTION
To identify business risks at a board level you need to have strong awareness of your market and business environment. This slideshow introduces a new visual method, developed at the world famous Henley Business School in the UK, for analysing your business environment. We show how you can use the new method to identify key issues that could become a risk (or opportunity) to your business. We also show you how you can use this method to communicate your findings and recommendations to your executive team and board members.
