‘Geopolitical Risk – a Business Issue’

The world is going through the ‘Sixth great human transition’. Are we ready for this change?

The world is going through the ‘Sixth great human transition’. Unlike the other translations that took a couple of centuries, this one is taking 20 years and we are already 10 years through it. Africa is fundamentally changing, China’s Belt Road is reshaping the globe and Brexit plus Trump signal a fundamental change in the role of both Britain and the US on the global scale. Are we ready for this change?

Who is this aimed for?

Business leaders, those interested in political risk and those interested in global affairs.

What will the audience gain from it?

Audience members will leave thinking ‘I’ve never thought about it that way before and now I am more empowered to understand future risks and opportunities’.
