Think Ahead

Who wins when the global economy is in turmoil?

The rules that shaped the global economy for the past three decades are being rewritten.Trade disputes, industrial policy, shifting supply chains, technological competition and geopolitical tensions are reshaping how countries grow, how capital is allocated and how businesses make strategic decisions. Yet history suggests that periods of disruption do not simply create risk. They also create the conditions for renewal, innovation and new sources of growth.

At this Think Ahead event, Linda Yueh, Adjunct Professor of Economics at London Business School, joins a panel of senior business and investment leaders to explore how the global economy is adapting to a new era of uncertainty and change. Moderated by journalist and author Stefan Stern, the discussion will examine how organisations can navigate a world where economics and geopolitics are increasingly intertwined.

Join us for a forward-looking conversation on the practical choices leaders face today and the opportunities that may emerge tomorrow, with fresh insights on growth, investment and leadership in a changing world.
