By Mark Nolan, Deputy Managing Partner at Genesis Here's the paradox keeping senior leaders awake: you have more data, more tools, and more computational power than ever before. Yet the path ahead has never felt more uncertain. Every conversation with Irish leadership teams surfaces the same tension: "How do we build a winning strategy when the future is not only uncertain but also increasingly changing at an accelerated rate?” Get this wrong, and the cost is brutal. Five-yea

Genesis, in partnership with ITIC (The Irish Tourism Industry Confederation) recently carried out research focused on examining employee performance in Ireland, with a particular emphasis on the tourism sector.   The research explores a theory of performance driven by the interplay of three critical factors: IQ (Intellectual Quotient), EQ (Emotional Quotient), and MQ (Meaning Quotient).

In a year when marketing has lost of some of its greats, it was with huge sadness that we heard of the death of Michael O’Rourke, on May 7th 2021. One of life’s true gentlemen, Michael was unusual in many ways. He was an accountant who became a marketeer. He was a big company man who became an entrepreneur.

As a technology that can produce parts at scale in multiple locations at one time, a

It has been a few weeks now since the coronavirus changed our world. In the space of a few days, Covid-19 has impacted how we live, our work practices and how we relate to one another. It has shaken the fabric of our society and forced nations into confinement as a necessity for their safety. This sudden interruption to our fast-paced living has meant that businesses, workplaces, and people of all ages have had to stop, rethink their priorities, refocus and change behaviours.
