UNEXPLODED BOMBS

Use to remind you of the unexploded bombs that lie hidden in every organisation and the need to respond quickly should they explode.

The UXB Model is a metaphor for those risks that are lying quietly in many organisations, gently ticking away, counting down to the moment they will explode and destroy the business. Many organisations are sitting on such bombs without even knowing it. The strength of the model is that it challenges people complacency and asks them to identify potential threats and strategies and deal with them.

Very often ‘the bomb’ will relate to the organisation’s inability to read the marketplace and/or respond rapidly to changes in the market or business sector.
