On 25 May 2010 LeadershipWorks and GIBS hosted Donald Sull in South Africa. The catalyst was his latest book, The Upside of Turbulence - an invaluable handbook for managers who are looking to use the current business uncertainty to find opportunity and advantage. This page offers additional resources to assist you in putting the ideas into practice in your business. Please download and use them freely.

"What is certain is that if you are running a company, uncertainty is a way of life. However it's also value neutral. Turbulence creates both winners and losers. The current environment can lead to disaster for organisations or generate untold opportunities to create economic value. The upside is that those companies that seize the opportunities will become tomorrow's champions. Don Sull
