South West Director Briefing: Adaptive Strategy - From Plan to Performance

In today’s fast-moving and increasingly unpredictable environment, the challenge is no longer just setting a strategy, it’s ensuring it remains relevant, responsive and on track. Geopolitical shifts, economic uncertainty and rapid market changes mean strategies can quickly become outdated or neglected. As a result, boards must maintain visibility of strategy execution in real time, which requires a more active form of oversight from directors. One that connects strategic intent to delivery, while maintaining clear governance boundaries.

This session will explore how leading boards are doing this in practice, sharing approaches, frameworks and real-world insights that directors can apply to strengthen oversight of strategy execution, including how to maintain real-time visibility of performance, respond to shifting conditions, and ensure strategy delivers in practice, not just on paper.
