In this episode, Tony talks about his newest book, Decision Making in Uncertain Times - How can we become more aware of the consequences of our actions on tomorrow?The unsaid questionsTony struggled with how to ask better questions. He says there are two forms of questions. There are questions that we all ask, such as how are you performing? What are you doing? How are you feeling?Then there's a pile of what Tony termed the unsaid questions. He says that we don't ask these questions because, politically, we can't ask them. We emotionally feel we're not able to, especially if we don't know the person well enough or when somebody tells us not to ask that type of question. The trouble with a board is that if members don't ask the unsaid, they won't be able to discharge their fiduciary duties. Therefore, we need better frameworks to find questions we didn't know we needed to ask.So, how do we ask those questions? Tony has a whole book on how he does it. When the book gets shared, other people will read it, and they'll come up with better questions than he has.Principle versus riskAccording to Tony, when a board starts, it has all these principles outlined and tries to uphold them. But you realize later on as a board that you can't manage principles. What you can manage is risk frameworks. But you can't manage risk rating frameworks without rules. So, you create rules that allow you to manage risk. After creating the rules, you become managed against the free-risk framework you believe in because it aligns with your principles.However, over time, the rules stop working, and those rules have to have another rule because there's an exception to a rule. Tony says that when a new rule is created, or a new procedure or methodology comes along, a board should go back and question if that rule is aligned with its purpose, not whether it is helping the board manage the risk framework...

In an industry where the business model is largely detached from consumers' financial well-being, what is our purpose and what are our principles? Can we govern ourselves to make good decisions? Can we truly prevent the abuse of power and maintain transparency? Can our industry act as a true global fiduciary, or must there always be a conflict of interest? As we look forward to the next decade and the next 100 years, how can we become better ancestors to the next generation and the generations after that? In this new episode of One Vision, Theo and Bradley chat with Tony Fish on data, money, and purpose.

Madman (1981) & Terror Train (1980) are the topics of this episode

Tony Fish thrives in complex, ground-breaking, and uncertain environments, bringing proven judgment and decision-making skills with cross-sectorial experience. He has a track record of sense-making and foresight, with enthusiasm and drive that is contagious. Tony is a maverick and (un)intentional rule breaker. His focus is on how the future of corporate governance, decision making, and judgment will be affected by complex data at the corporate board level. This focus leads him to speak about what board meetings will look like in 2025, and the implications and unintended consequences. Tony has founded, co-founded, sold, and listed many businesses and remains deeply passionate about new ways of creating value, inspiring, and supporting the next generation of thinkers and doers.   “You learn the most from the worst and the toughest times. There is no doubt that you go into your worst investment to learn more.” Tony Fish   Worst investment ever Tony made his worst investment ever as a board chairman. His company had a simple idea to deliver a product to three million captive customers in the UK market. Those customers had already fairly much adopted the product, but they were particularly sensitive to price. For this reason, all of the existing players, because of their large infrastructures, could not offer the price that would see the customers carry on being incredibly loyal. Getting it right from the start With this advantage, Tony’s company started from scratch with a different philosophy and different economics and got price efficiency from day one. The company wanted to create something which was highly efficient, effective, and built from the ground up. They identified a power player, which was a company that had access to their market and utter control over the digital channels to this market. They did a cross-shareholding with this supplier to get a deal, which gave them access to that market in terms they could not get in any other way. The supplier offered a superior product with a subscription model, which they could now offer to this captive audience. Capturing the customer The company raised Series A, which was just short of 10 million pounds in about four months. So basically, they were swapping existing customers from one platform to another platform with a much better cost advantage. In less than six months, they had a significant customer base, and each subscriber was paying about 20 pounds per month. After just less than six months, they were making five million pounds a month in income. Scaling the business The company needed to raise more capital for cash flow, and before they could do it, they had to go back to the supplier and get better terms because the terms they had would not go to a large scale. At the point, they had committed about 20 million pounds in debt and equity. Tony believed that the supplier would buy the business themselves because the company had built a substantial new customer base. With the supplier’s new platform, they would be able to offer something they hadn’t done before. So it was a pretty obvious strategic exit. Tony set up a meeting with them. He went as chair of the board and took one of the other major shareholders and the CEO. They went into the meeting with high expectations of getting a better deal or, better still, opening up the conversation of the supplier, becoming either a strategic funder or taking the business out when it passes a specific number. Here comes the shocker So after the pleasantries and Tony presenting their proposal, the supplier asked them how many verified customers they had. Tony was feeling quite proud of the company’s success, given the high numbers that the CEO had been giving the board. So he goes through the numbers, ready to provide them with an impressive figure. But shock on him, there was an enormous gap between the data the board had and the data the supplier had. Tony and the shareholders could not believe it. Over the next three days, the board found out that the CEO had been lying to them. Not only had he been lying but had been utterly fabricating the numbers. On top of that, there was a massive fraud issue, and all of it was hidden. The systems that the board believed were in place and working turned out to be a user interface that was completely fabricated. The friend turned foe The CEO was Tony’s mate, and they had worked together before on other projects. Tony came to find out that his mate had a hidden past and was not even qualified for a CEO’s role. He had been stealing from the company all along and misleading the board. The CEO was also about to jump ship and had found another job. Tony had made the worst investment ever when he hired the CEO. Needless to say, there was no deal made with the supplier. The board also was liable for all the mess that the CEO created. Lessons learned Directors carry all the liability The company and its shareholders have limited liability. Directors, however, are 100% liable. There’s no escaping. Be aware that sitting on the board of a company is not a nice little end of life career; it’s a serious role with profound implications. Being a board of directors requires emotional maturity To be a successful board of directors, you have to have emotional maturity with the highest emotional sense. Don’t be judgmental or controlling, but seek diversity, especially of reporting. Andrew’s takeaways Being an advisor is the better option If you want to be involved in a company, be an advisor, not a board member. Because as a board member, you are liable for any fraud going inside the company, and you can’t prove that you made an effort to try to detect it. There is a lot more risk for a board member than an advisor. Actionable advice Find additional ways to know if what you’re being told is true. Yes, this is tremendously difficult because we’re now remote, but it’s a field day for liars and manipulators, so you’ve got to be extra careful. No. 1 goal for the next 12 months Tony’s number one goal is to finish on a piece he’s working on to do board meetings in 2025.
