Bring Certainty to Business Uncertainty One thing CEOs and business owners hate is uncertainty. Yet when leadership navigates complex decisions, explores growth strategies, or considers significant business transitions, uncertainty looms large. As trusted advisors, you've witnessed this tension repeatedly. While clients seek your financial, legal, or investment expertise, even the best guidance cannot fully predict how decisions will unfold. Leaders still find themselves wondering, "How can I be truly confident in the path forward?" Enter the game-changing tool you need in your advisory arsenal: the premortem, a powerful exercise that challenges executive leaders to ask upfront, "What went wrong?" before they've even begun. In this dynamic, interactive session, best-selling author and M&A consultant, Jennifer J Fondrevay unveils the power of the premortem and the advantages of "prospective hindsight" – a strategic planning concept that challenges leaders to look back from a future point and dissect why things happened as they did. Working together through a hypothetical business scenario, Jennifer shows the audience how integrating a premortem into the decision-making process reveals both hidden challenges and unexpected opportunities. The result? Clients who make more confident decisions – and advisors who cement their status as indispensable strategic partners.
