A modern COO - GM has to be constantly breaking new ground. This informal program equips Leaders, with the knowledge, skills, and network to realise the potential that lies ahead as well as the many challenges and risks. COO - GM Roundtable is a confidential COO and GM peer group that will benefit you in three ways: • Strategic Clarity from Diverse Perspectives: you engage with like-minded COOs and GMs across industries to challenge assumptions, uncover blind spots, and refine high-stakes decisions with fresh and unbiased insight. • Safe Space for Complex Leadership Challenges; discuss sensitive topics such succession planning, board dynamics, or personal dilemmas, in a confidential environment free from internal politics or judgment. • Personal Growth and Leadership Resilience; stay sharp and grounded through regular peer engagement that fosters accountability, emotional intelligence, and long-term leadership development.
