Navigating a World in Transition

By Rohit Prasad, Professor and Area Chairperson – Economics And Public Policy, MDI, Deepak Sharma, Cofounder and Director – Kanvic Consulting

About the Workshop

We live in transformative times, where breathtaking possibilities are accompanied by unprecedented risks. In the past, CEOs primarily focused on competition, industry trends, culture, and innovation to steer their organisation. 

Today, however, leaders must navigate a far broader spectrum of challenges arising from the global megatrends — from geopolitics and trade wars to climate change and artificial intelligence. Recent global research reveals that these global megatrends are becoming central to leadership conversations.

The shifting business landscape demands a robust framework to spot weak signals, connect the dots in global mega-trends, and act decisively. The C-level Workshop “Navigating a World in Transition” is designed to equip your team of CXOs and business leaders with the tools and perspectives to thrive amid heightened uncertainty and novel opportunities shaping the future of leadership.
