India as a diverse and complex market, presents unique opportunities. By combining The Core Questin’s extensive experience within the Indian C-Suite with Cultivating Leadership’s proven global capabilities this partnership strengthens its ability to address challenges unique to the Indian context.

2020 marked a milestone in the ongoing conversation around complexity. Even as early as 2021, an EY survey of global board directors revealed a stark reality: 87% of respondents agreed that “market disruptions have become increasingly frequent,” and 83% agreed that “market disruptions have become increasingly impactful”. Yet, only about half (52%) of these respondents felt their companies were effective at “understanding how different risks are interconnected”. Events like the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and rising socio-political tensions demonstrated that even the best-laid plans can falter when confronted with unforeseen realities. The World Economic Forum’s Global Risk Report 2024 underscores this, highlighting climate, conflict, and rapid technological shifts amidst economic uncertainty as continued risks. While the challenges are undeniable, they also carry a profound invitation: to reimagine leadership for a complex world. Leaders equipped to embrace uncertainty and interconnectedness can turn disruption into opportunity – rallying teams around a shared purpose, fostering resilience, and shaping a more adaptive, inspired future.
