What is NBAU?
Not Business As Usual.
Why NBAU? Because there’s no such thing as business as usual. Not for leaders who think ahead and see a landscape of opportunity – and risk – across an uncharted global space.
Advisory. Training. Readiness.
Complex challenges test leadership, reputation and trust. To emerge stronger, you need resilience – and a partner who understands the stakes.
We support leaders and organizations facing complex risks and high-pressure decisions.
Our work focuses on crisis resilience, strategic communication and stakeholder engagement as leadership disciplines.
We examine issues within a broader systemic context, ask hard questions and pursue solutions that cut across silos – strengthening your capacity to act, not just react, in the face of both opportunity and risk.
We work with you to build resilience before, during and after adverse events through planning, training and scenario exercises that broaden your understanding of crises – and enable positive action in disrupted environments.
Our media training programs equip you with the tools and confidence to tell your story in high-stakes situations.
