Thriving in the New World Order: Essential Insights for Business Leaders

How Demographics, Economics, Geopolitics, and Technology Are Transforming the Business Landscape

A Six-Session Live and On-Demand Mini-Course
with Dr. Tassu Shervani

 

Dr. Tassu Shervani, Professor Emeritus at SMU’s Cox School of Business and trusted advisor to senior executives of major U.S. companies, delivers striking insights on the transformative trends reshaping our world. While the attention of business leaders is often drawn to immediate and near-term economic indicators, four long-term forces—demographics, economics, geopolitics, and technology—are fundamentally redefining the business landscape. Specifically designed for business leaders and decision-makers, this course provides a necessary foundation for those who want to better anticipate change, manage risk, and capitalize on emerging opportunities.
