Ghosts in the Boardroom 2025: Dispelling the Shapeshifting Forces That Haunt Corporate Performance
This halloween, take stock of your governance and exorcise the lurking inefficiencies and the unseen forces behind organisational drift. There is nothing wrong with a deep clean of business horror-pains before Christmas…
A word to executives, senior management teams, and shareholders
Even the most capable organisations can, over time, accumulate ghosts of past decisions and misplaced priorities. A brief reality-check can reveal just how many are still roaming your corridors. The time has come again to address spooky business horrors.
Signs your business is haunted
Are you feeling concerned that some areas of your business:
- take you for a pumpkin head
- appear haunted by ghostly deliveries
- put together Frankenstein Analytics
- deploy mysterious agendas
- seem possessed by spooky mindsets
- bite and suck your finances
- dance with werewolves
- promote supernatural pragmatism
- recruit sorcerers, Pennywise clowns and witches
- transform your online site into a spiderweb
- celebrate “Halloween” but go quiet come Christmas
- dream of customers-zombies
- nurture toxic cultures and devilish-style management
- invade your IT with Gremlins
- sign pacts with the devil
- delight in ugliness’ promotion and so on?
Underneath the theatrics lies a threat of data-viruses: uncurated, out-of-context data that masquerades as insight.
What if nothing is done?
Left unchecked, these hidden issues erode value, distort decision‐making, and ultimately compromise your strategy.
By the time the symptoms are visible, the damage is often already embedded deep in your organisation’s routines.
What we can do together
If any of these resonate, then your organisation is afflicted, it looks like you may need a squad of exorcists – and the good news is that you can act.
Understanding the problem is already the first step toward reclaiming control.
