Building on his earlier keynote addressing the transformational effects of demographics and technological innovation, Dr. Shervani explores two additional forces that will define the future: economic disruption and geopolitical turbulence. Beginning with how we’ve arrived at this critical inflection point, he will unpack the historical developments that have created the highly prosperous global economic landscape from which U.S. businesses have particularly benefited. He will then address how decades of stability that once fueled business success are giving way to escalating geopolitical risks including rising nationalism, the fraying of democratic norms and the rule of law, and emboldened adversaries more willing to engage in conflict, marking a future far more uncertain than the past. Not to mention the need to redesign supply chains as a major consequence of the economic and geopolitical shifts. While economic disruption and geopolitical turbulence bring heightened risks, they also offer opportunities for those better prepared to navigate the evolving landscape.
