It is worth pausing to reflect on how your organisation has fared, and what measures might add value in the short to medium-term. Longer term, your organisation will likely need to adapt to fundamental shifts in how we operate as an industry, investors, employers, and as a society.

Our paper 'The next right thing - new thinking on time horizons for asset owners and managers' gives an overview of our approach to time horizons and the six models that impact organisational performance and effectiveness – valuable information for Boards, CEOs and Investment Committees.

You can also listen to our PODfolio podcast. We present two episodes featuring Global Head of Governance Consulting Tim Mitchell breaking down the issues into manageable and actionable parcels for both asset owners and asset managers.


Episode 1 looks at the different issues we face in short, medium and long-term time horizons and the steps required to deal with them. We introduce the six models impacting on all organisations and the disruptive forces of change at play, as well as some quick to implement solutions that could meaningfully impact near term outcomes.

Episode 2 focuses on the nature of long-term issues – determining the difference between things that seem inevitable and those that can be plausibly imagined. What should you be looking for in terms of inflexion points and what drives them? How can you use scenarios to tease out different ways of looking at the various paths ahead.
