The degree of global uncertainty today and for the foreseeable future is more complex than at any time in recent memory, with risks evolving daily. A new corporate landscape is emerging, as the forces that underpinned 40 years of globalization-driven growth come under increasing strain.
Risks are coming at us from every direction: trade, climate, technology, and workforce dynamics. It’s no longer a question of if disruption will occur, but when and how it will impact your organization and its people.
While you cannot control trade winds, predict the weather, or fully anticipate technological evolution, you can shape how your workforce responds.
