Four flights. Three cities. Two conferences. One mountain hike. This week I had the privilege of being a guest speaker at PwC South Africa's 2025 Reward Conference discussing incentives as a mechanism for business resilience and as a tool to navigate underperformance with Izelle Groenewald: 💬 Reward approaches across the different business cycles (Growth, Maturity, Decline) 💬 Leading versus lagging performance indicators 💬 Creative management and employee incentives to measure "run" and "fix/ change" behaviours Yesterday morning, before leaving Cape Town my colleague Leila Ebrahimi suggested I connect with Will Green to join his Friday morning Lion's Head hike. What a treat. Glorious weather, like minded people, and a cup filling approach to networking. Thank you for the company Susanne Brinley Devon. #performanceincentives #transformation #turnaround #impact #africa
Thanks for fitting us into your busy schedule - I think the power of our combined consulting teams is phenomenal, and glad we could showcase it briefly on stage.
Great insights Emma, fascinating how often strategic decisions in turnaround contexts are shaped not just by the data, but by leadership and strategic management biases. Amazing hike yesterday, clear views often come after those steep climbs! Great meeting you on the mountain with the #WGW community!
Really enjoyed the session and understanding the different incentives depending on where a business is in it’s lifecycle!
Getting around. Well done and thank you!

1wSuch a pleasure sharing the stage with you! The discussion on incentive design through different business cycles was both insightful and energising. Thank you for bringing such depth and perspective to the conversation — and what a perfect way to end the week with a sunrise hike and great company! 🌄👏
