Senior leaders are working in a period of significant uncertainty.

We invite you to join us on 31 March 2026 for a webinar hosted by Cressida Strachan, Programme Director of CISL's Business & Sustainability Programme (BSP), and featuring members of the programme's Global Steering Committee.
This session draws on the thinking shared by CISL's CEO, Lindsay Hooper, in her latest blog, alongside perspectives on the pressures shaping corporate strategy today. Together, these perspectives offer a current view of the pressures shaping corporate strategy today.
This is an opportunity to reflect on the demands of leadership today and to consider the actions that support confident, future‑focused strategy.
