Don’t Lose Grip! Safeguarding your company’s societal and political license

Innovative companies that enter the market are - more often than before - met with societal and political headwinds. Governments are starting to act on a 'ban, pause and then slowly release' point of view regarding the rollout of technology, driven by increased scrutiny in the public debate.

At the same time, being ‘investor-ready’ is not just about financial viability: investors’ willingness also increasingly depends on being able to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the societal and political landscape, and having proactive and lean (!) strategies in place to navigate potential challenges.

All of this means that your social license to operate (SLO) becomes business critical - and it comes with less room for error. How to operate in an arena with no real supporters in society yet to vouch for your company? What invisible dynamics are at play?

After this workshop, you'll know:

• Whether your business (model) is actually at high risk of ‘losing grip�� on its social license to operate;
• Why some companies are more successful in their stakeholder management than others;
• How to take a 'lean' approach: what choices can save you a lot of hassle and resources at a later stage; without losing focus on your core business;
• How to show potential investors that you have the right strategies in place to navigate potential societal & political challenges;
