There’s a serious, almost invisible new threat to the health of every large corporation and it’s growing rapidly

It can completely destroy your business in less than a week

It’s a hundred times more powerful than globalisation or the internet – and will dominate the development of both

It’s highly infectious, and can take out a network of businesses in one attack. Governments are controlled by it, laws are weak against it and most CEOs are unprepared for it.

No book of management strategy adequately addresses it and most employees have never heard of it

It thrives on globalisation, media attention, tribalism, single issue activism and religious fundamentalism. The virus changes shape all the time in response to random events which capture the public imagination

Forget Shareholder Value

“Treat all people as greedy and greed is all you’ll find”

“He who lives by shareholder value will die by it”

“Share price is the worst measure of future performance”

“Great companies only do great things”

The greatest value you can add is to other people’s lives
