TRANSEARCH C-Suite Roundtables: The Six Levers for Success in Times of Crisis
In an effort to contribute to the success of our clients, TRANSEARCH once again hosted an extensive network of c-suite executives in 2022, under the leadership of Dr.-Ing. Carlo Mackrodt and Bernd Wenzler. The purpose of these roundtables was to discuss shared experiences from different perspectives, to shed light on the current and challenging economic situation, and to discuss the way forward.
The results of our 2022 roundtables are clear: In addition to high energy costs and supply chain interruption, the lack of skilled employees at all levels, is now one of the biggest challenges. The good thing is that as a business leader, you can do something about it – unlike the current global crises.
Together with the participants, we identified six central levers that make companies stronger and more equipped to survive these challenges. Many of them have a basis in human resources: People, Culture, Leadership, Reputation, Resilience, and Proactive, Empathic Communication.
You can download a summary of the findings HERE, and if you are interested in the full study containing all results and leadership practices, please feel free to contact us.
Due to the very positive feedback and the high demand, TRANSEARCH will continue this exclusive exchange at the c-level in the 3rd quarter of this year. We look forward to further exchanging ideas, insights, and key topics, and to finding out more about what moves decision makers, and how to react to upcoming challenges.

Dr. Carlos Davidovich MD. explores the neuroscience of biases and where they are located in our brain, the negative consequences of unconscious cognitive biases and the connection between biases and Diversity and Inclusion.
Ponder long enough and you might recall hearing at a business conference or reading a blog post from a renowned futurist, author or social commentator some time ago that while things to come remained as always unpredictable, it was likely that the pace of change in our times would indeed accelerate. Looking around at the ways our lives and work have been altered in the past 24 months alone,
Breakthrough technology, uncertainty, the increasing speed of change and the redefinition of 'work' demand an organisation that is a fit for the 21st century (built to change). We refer to it as 'succession planning.' A better description would be 'planning for success.'
TRANSEARCH India invited a panel of CEOs and board members, to discuss the topic – 'CEO Conversations: What Boards Expect'. The panellists also debate the importance of agility, culture, succession planning and diversity as key tenets of good governance and purpose-led leadership.
More than anything, agility is a way to think, it’s a mindset, and as such, without 'leadership' you still don't have much. The type of leadership required exudes, encompasses, encourages, and expresses agility in everything the leader does. Which leads us to the 'The Way of the Dolphin'.
One of the reasons a weekend respite from one’s executive leadership responsibilities – or a longer holiday break away from the office – can be so productive for one’s state of mind is because it allows us the time to reflect on our work and absorb important lessons learned by others. There is no shortage of illuminating quotes, allegories and simple epiphanies circulating on the Internet,
While so much of the world around us is changing, there will come a time when people around the world will look for signs, evidence and leaders in whom they can believe and put their trust for better things to come in the future. There is no better economic and social flashpoint to prove this point than the continuing global struggle to contain the spread of COVID-19,
Diversity and Inclusion are founding principles of a more sustainable business model, and even if they encompass several components, including that of gender equity, it is obvious that good intentions are not enough.
