“Decision making in 2026 is like a game of Whack-A-Mole for C-Level executives”
Founder, The Boardroom
FTSE equities have slipped 3% and UK economic growth is flat at 0.1% (Bloomberg, 2026). Add in geopolitical fragmentation, regulatory complexity and unpredictable trade dynamics, and you have the perfect storm to navigate (McKinsey 2026).
Navigating this disruption starts with fast but informed decision making. Leaders that lack good information emphasise cost-cutting, hunkering down in times of crisis. Yet during disruption, the best performing organisations stand out for their ability to make better decisions around risk appetite, resource allocation and new value creation (McKinsey 2026).
So what can you do in 2026 to make braver decisions? And what role does tech, people and process play in supporting this?

"72% of senior executives have reported a notable impact of geopolitical uncertainties on their organisations in 2026 already" (McKinsey 2026)
2
"92% of CEOs agreed that their team must focus on cultivating unprecedented levels of adaptability in themselves and their teams in 2026" (Forbes 2026)
3
"Whilst 88% of organisations are experimenting with AI, 81% report no meaningful bottom line gains within this uncertain landscape" (McKinsey 2026)
An intimate dinner at 2-star Michelin restaurant
Trivet, nr London Bridge / 6:30-9:30PM
Trivet is a two Michelin-starred restaurant located in the heart of London Bridge. For an evening centred on high-quality conversation and meaningful connection, it offers a fittingly sophisticated setting. The restaurant’s private dining room balances privacy and elegance, with a warm, understated style that feels discreet rather than formal. Paired with tailored menus and a strong emphasis on wine, it creates an experience that is both polished and memorable for The Boardroom.
