In an era marked by growing geopolitical fractures, economic nationalism, and trade protectionism, firms are increasingly challenged by global uncertainty. This Professional Development Workshop (PDW) seeks to explore how businesses can navigate these challenges and adapt their strategies to thrive in volatile international environments. By offering both theoretical insights and practical applications, the PDW will examine the evolving dynamics of geopolitics, focusing on their impact on business strategy, risk management, and global operations. The workshop will feature five keynote speeches, an interactive panel discussion, and small-group breakout sessions that provide participants with actionable tools to develop resilient strategies in a world of geopolitical disruption.
