5 ways leaders can adapt to shifting geopolitics

What will the world look like in 2030? International business consultant Nikolaus S. Lang predicts the evolution of a multipolar world, with multiple emerging coalitions of countries acting in new ways to achieve their economic, technological and military goals. He dives into what this will mean for the global economy, offering five tips for business leaders to prepare for the coming geopolitical landscape.

Businesses must strengthen their ability to anticipate and adapt to this turbulent, multipolar reality.
