Strategic Decision-Making in an Uncertain World
An exclusive, invitation-only executive breakfast briefing for the leaders responsible for steering organisations through uncertainty.
Overview
How do leaders make confident, timely and informed decisions when the picture is ambiguous, priorities compete and risks evolve faster than the plan?
This fourth Exclusive Breakfast Briefing brings together a select group of C-suite leaders, Chief Risk Officers, Chief Resilience Officers and senior decision-makers for a focused morning on exactly that question. The ISRM UK Hub, in partnership with Clew, is delighted to host the session at the National Liberal Club, hosted by The Defence & Security Circle.
The morning opens with a private networking breakfast, followed by a leadership panel exploring how organisations make sound decisions under pressure. Attendees then move into confidential, facilitated roundtables to exchange practical approaches to sharpening decision-making, strengthening strategic resilience and building organisational confidence in the face of disruption.
The format is built for genuine peer-to-peer dialogue across sectors, giving senior leaders facing similar strategic challenges the space to compare thinking, challenge assumptions and leave with ideas they can put to work.
Why attend
Attendees will:
- Gain practical insight into strategic decision-making in uncertain, fast-moving environments.
- Exchange ideas with senior leaders from across sectors in a confidential, off-the-record setting.
- Learn how peer organisations are strengthening resilience while navigating complexity and change.
- Build valuable executive connections and leave with practical ideas to apply within their own organisation.

About The Defence & Security Circle
The Defence & Security Circle is a leading UK forum dedicated to advancing dialogue on defence, national security and resilience. It brings together senior leaders from government, the armed forces, industry, academia and the wider security community to discuss the strategic issues shaping an increasingly complex global environment.

About Clew
Clew is a modern risk and assurance platform that connects strategy with the risks, controls, assurance activity and actions that shape delivery.
Rather than treating risk as a standalone register, Clew creates a clear line of sight from organisational objectives through to the exposures that could affect them, the controls that matter most, and the evidence leaders need to make informed decisions. That is precisely the challenge at the heart of this briefing: turning uncertainty into confident, well-evidenced choices.
Used by organisations across government, regulated industries and complex enterprises, Clew brings risk, assurance, compliance, audit and business continuity into one connected platform. It is practical, flexible and easy to adopt, helping teams move beyond reporting activity towards clearer insight, stronger accountability and better business performance. At its core, Clew helps organisations understand what matters, where confidence is weak, what has changed and what needs to happen next.
