Executive Short Program
Geopolitics, Global Risks and Strategic Leadership Geopolitics, Global Risks and Strategic Leadership
Today’s executives operate in an environment shaped by uncertainty, geopolitical fragmentation, technological disruption and growing ideological polarization. Established business models are being challenged, signals are increasingly difficult to interpret, and the assumption that the future will resemble the past is no longer valid. While the notion of “polycrisis” is now widely acknowledged, its concrete implications for strategy and decision-making remain difficult to grasp.
This executive online program enables decision-makers to step back and make sense of the deep forces reshaping the global business environment. The program provides analytical frameworks and anticipation tools to better understand systemic change, test the robustness of strategic choices, and adapt organizations to fast-evolving and uncertain global realities.
