In an increasingly unpredictable global landscape, leaders must navigate shifting geopolitical currents and evolving regulatory frameworks to safeguard their organisations and their workforce. This session brings together seasoned experts to examine how businesses can anticipate risks, adapt strategies, and maintain resilience amid complex external pressures.
