For this episode, let's revisit a Strategy Skills classic from week 4 of the Corporate Strategy & Transformation study.
Promoting women into leadership roles is a hot topic and, sadly, a debate. Why is it a debate? What are the elements that require further analysis? To paraphrase Marvin Bower, one does not ask a client if a woman should take over the relationship, one simply tells a client a woman is taking over. It is not the clientâs job to decide what is right.
In this podcast, we explain why we have more female than male partners at FC and how we constantly develop them to serve in more and more senior roles.

For this episode, let's revisit a Strategy Skills classic from the Corporate Strategy & Transformation study.
In this podcast, we look at the problem of superficial financial analysis. One way to save the client money, before they run out of cash in about 16 months, is to stop all investments which lose money. This, however, is a terrible idea that will cause enormous damage to the clientâs core business, consumers, and the economy. We discuss how we handle this recommendation and what we proposed in the study to fix the problem.
