As we prepare for a new administration and you are developing your company's 2025 strategy, have you asked your board about the impacts of federal policies? How changes in employment law can impact your bottom line? Or how changes in trade laws may disrupt foreign investments or supply chains? As a board, it's critical to understand that the federal government may affect your business. Board members need to have a working knowledge of how the federal government can impact your global enterprise. Asking the right questions will allow you to guide your company’s engagement and execution strategies. Think globally, act locally. #boards #federalgovernment #congressforExecutives

Did you know? Only 8% of S&P 500 companies have stand-alone risk committees at the board level. In a rapidly evolving business landscape, managing risk is more critical than ever. Companies with dedicated risk committees are better equipped to identify potential challenges and safeguard their long-term success. Is your organization prepared? #RiskManagement #CorporateGovernance #BusinessStrategy #Leadership

Our job is to ask questions. To dig through and analyze information. To see technology and business with “outside eyes”. On the flip side, we understand that it can be hard to hear news that your investment may not yield sufficient returns or that your path to scale isn’t what you hoped it would be. But this information can help you make smart pivots and reshape the future. We appreciate the clients who allow me to play a part in these conversations. When they have an open mind and the courage to do the right thing it benefits their businesses and investment partners.

As a rule, in uncertain environments, endeavors that can impact your future growth and bottom line, should be pressure-tested. ??Are you considering an M&A target, portfolio reshaping, or strategic realignment to unlock value? ??Or perhaps you are looking to assess whether you are realizing the full value of your internal R&D investments and your business capture strategies. What processes do you have in place to test and retest these potential situations? Are they effective? If you are looking for a partner to help smooth out your risk assessment, we are ready to help!

This month's Delphi Book recommendation is an oldie, but a goodie. “Small Wars, Big Defense” by Murray Weidenbaum. This book explores the complex relationship between the U.S. defense industry and government spending, providing insights into how defense contracts shape policy and the economy. Weidenbaum's analysis of the post-Cold War military-industrial complex remains highly relevant today as geopolitical tensions rise and military budgets continue to grow. The book’s detailed examination of government waste and the ongoing influence of defense contractors sheds light on current debates about national security priorities and fiscal responsibility. A must-read for anyone interested in defense policy, economics, or government accountability. #bookrecommendation #readinglist #TBR
