🌟 Resilience Metrics Matter: Unlocking Investment Opportunities and Strong Partnerships 🌟 Resilient businesses are like well-crafted symphonies—each note harmonizing to create a powerful melody. As venture capitalists (VCs), private equity firms (PEs), and investors listen closely, they’re drawn to the KPI evidence that resonates with their investment sensibilities. Let’s explore the key metrics that make your business stand out: Adaptability to Market Changes: Like seasoned chameleons, resilient companies adjust swiftly to shifting landscapes. Metrics that track how your business pivots—whether it’s embracing new technologies, diversifying revenue streams, or reimagining customer experiences—paint a vivid picture of your agility. Crisis Communication Effectiveness: When the storm clouds gather, how well does your business navigate the tempest? Metrics related to crisis communication—response times, clarity of messaging, and stakeholder engagement—reveal your ability to weather the storm while keeping everyone informed. Regulatory Compliance: Resilience isn’t just about bouncing back; it’s about playing by the rules, even when the game changes. Metrics that showcase your commitment to compliance—whether it’s GDPR, environmental regulations, or industry-specific standards—signal trustworthiness to investors. 🔍 Beyond Metrics: The Insurance Safety Net While not a direct KPI, insurance coverage is a critical safety net. Investors appreciate businesses that understand the scope and nuances of their insurance policies. Consider these questions: What risks are covered? How quickly can you recover financially after a disruption? Does your coverage align with potential crisis scenarios? Investors recognize that robust insurance can soften the impact of unforeseen events, allowing your business to rise from adversity. 🔗 Join the Conversation Follow ReadyGlobal for insightful posts on business resilience. 🔔 Turn on notifications to stay informed about the latest strategies, success stories, and industry trends.

⚠️ Controversial Post Alert: External Shareholders Pose a Major Conflict of Interest in Financial Planning In my opinion, one of the most significant conflicts of interest in financial planning today is the influence of external shareholders. How can large businesses swiftly implement necessary changes when these shareholders prioritise dividends and share price increases over client-centric decisions? Often, the changes needed to truly put the client first directly compete with profitability. This conflict is becoming increasingly evident, as seen with St. James's Place (#SJP) recently crashing out of the #FTSE100. This situation underscores the urgent need for a shift in priorities. To genuinely serve clients' best interests, the financial planning industry must address and mitigate the influence of external shareholders. It's time for a serious conversation about aligning the industry's goals with the needs of the clients we serve. What are your thoughts? #FinancialPlanning #ClientFirst #FTSE100
