● ThrowForward Thursday: Water Wars
Using the scenarios eBook Water scarcity is becoming a critical issue globally. As the world gets more and more water stressed, those who control water supplies in rivers, lakes, and dams, will exercise more power and restrict access to water to those downstream. This could lead to conflict – legal and physical – that is both internal and crosses national boundaries. Some countries may even use the need for water as a reason to invade a neighbour.
Individuals, businesses, and nations need to prioritise water security. We cannot live without water. Watch this week’s episode now.

● Organisational health is (still) key for long term performance
In this article, McKinsey researchers reiterate the degree to which organisational health is not just nice to have; it’s required for sustained performance and organisational success.
Organisational health refers to how effectively leaders “run the place”—that is, how they make decisions, allocate resources, operate day to day, and lead their teams with the goal of delivering high performance, both near term and over time. This article talks about leadership, data and technology, and talent management as well as several principles for building or maintaining organizational health over time—something that leaders often tell us they have limited time and resources to do.
