Stewart Cummins is an experienced CFO and CEO with experience leading high profile businesses such as Caltex, Transpacific and Vocation through highly complex scenarios and change. In this session, he will take us into some case studies of his personal experience to unpack his approach to planning and leadership in challenging situations. 

This will include:

• Navigating a 'whole of business change', including decision and risk analysis

• Contingency planning and strategic signposts - having formal checkpoints

• 5Ps - proper planning prevents poor performance

• Expecting the unexpected - you are paid to anticipate surprises, and there are no excuses for not

• When to "phone a friend"
