This 3-hour online Masterclass is divided into three ~40 min blocks, each followed by 10 mins of Q&A, with short breaks in between. There a 2 timeslots available for the masterclass, either 6-9am UTC or 2-5pm UTC.

We are faced with a “VUCA world on steroids” - our outer context appears ever more Volatile and Uncertain, in addition to being Complex beyond our current grasp and Ambiguous:

• Rapid tectonic shifts in global trading, security systems and overall world order makes us realise the fragility of current strategies, business models, and assumptions behind projected returns and margins.

• In parallel, quarter to quarter, science has been making leaps in understanding the causes and impacts of the planetary emergency: What were previously believed to be the “worst case, catastrophic” versions of future trajectories for global heating, ecosystem collapse and ocean acidification - are now considered highly likely, if not still conservative. Previously assumed “mid-range” projections no longer appear plausible.

All of these dictate that we revisit our grasp of systemic risk and explore the specific steps that strategic mitigation and adaptation demands we take now.

Join us as we ask and answer: What does a very volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world demand of business leaders?
