With a decades-long caddying career and experience as an on-course TV analyst, Jim “Bones” Mackay is a leading figure in the world of golf. His work as a caddie has given him a keen understanding of the behind-the-scenes process of preparation in golf, but Mackay’s knowledge and unique viewpoint can also be transferred to the business world.
“I’ve been a professional caddie for some of the best golfers in the world, and the role that I play is very similar to what I see Aon do for its clients every day,” Mackay explains. “It’s about using information and advice to put your player — or your client — in the best possible position to succeed and giving them the clarity and confidence to make better decisions at every turn.”
Mackay’s perspective and experience means he understands the connection between wins in the boardroom and success on the green. Being able to navigate through uncertainty and complex situations requires strategic preparation, extensive data analysis, and relevant expertise, regardless of the arena. In an exclusive interview, the Aon Risk Reward Challenge ambassador and golf legend shares what he’s learned about navigating complexity, better decision making and confidence building — and offers advice for champions in any field.
