The world isn’t facing isolated crises anymore—we’re entering a new strategic era marked by durable disorder. How can leaders prepare when geopolitics shapes everything from trade routes to technology?

Key insights include:

  • How U.S. tariffs and European strategic shifts are redrawing global alliances

  • The rise of cyberattacks, resource control, and economic statecraft
  • Tools for building strategic resilience in an unpredictable world
