In today’s volatile financial climate, charity leaders are being tested like never before. The interactive session is designed to equip CEOs and senior leaders with the strategic insight, financial understanding, and leadership tools to draw upon in guiding your organisations through complexity and uncertainty. Through real-life case studies, sector-specific tools, and scenario-based exercises, you’ll strengthen your ability to make bold and informed decisions that protect your mission and sustain your impact.

Combining financial literacy with leadership behaviours, the session explores how to assess your charity’s financial health, manage risk, and adapt to change; without losing sight of your organisation’s core purpose. Drawing on frameworks from Cranfield School of Management, lessons from governance failures, and insights from Margaret Heffernan’s Wilful Blindness and Embracing Uncertainty, you’ll leave with greater clarity, resilience, and the confidence to lead decisively in challenging times.
