Shareholder activism is surging, with a record 160 campaigns disrupting global companies in 2024 alone — many catching unprepared boards off guard.

In this guide, you’ll find:
- 5 critical steps to create and execute an activist-response exercise, from crafting realistic scenarios to selecting key participants and managing logistics.
- A detailed checklist to streamline your preparation and ensure nothing is overlooked.
- A sample exercise timeline, tailorable to your chosen activist scenario, to help you simulate your response in a time pressured, realistic way.
Download the guide now and ensure your board has the tools and confidence to face activist scrutiny head-on.
