Challenge Workshops
Prepare your business for major geopolitical turbulence.
Talk to us about our one-day workshops which will help you navigate the current geopolitical landscape and how it could impact your business.
Donald Trump’s election seems likely to be a clear game-changer for the global economy and confirms that we have moved into a world where geopolitics are replacing economics as the key driver for decision making.
Importantly, this suggests an urgent need to rethink scenario planning:
Even the Base Case of ‘Business as Usual – Continual Instability’ is clearly being challenged. Instead, there is a clear risk that we progress from ‘Growing Disruption’ into ‘All-Out Trade War’
- Rising geopolitical tensions and an increasing focus on energy and supply-chain security will lead to greater use of ‘local-for-local’ supply chains
- Consumer demand is already coming under pressure because of higher interest rates and the end of stimulus/Covid support
- Taxes will likely have to rise to fund higher levels of defence spending – potentially back to Cold War levels (~5% x GDP) over time
Change on this scale will always be uncomfortable… but change also creates new opportunities.
