Understanding geopolitical complexity in international business operations - GFC | ESSEC Highlights
"At a time marked by growing strategic rivalry, economic fragmentation and heightened uncertainty, the Global Foresight Council provides a unique forum for forward-looking reflection on geopolitical risks redefining the future of capitalism and corporate strategy. It contributes to strengthening the Institute’s ability to identify emerging trends, challenge conventional assumptions and foster informed dialogue between decision-makers across sectors and regions. The Global Foresight Council supports the Institute in its mission to anticipate the geopolitical, economic and technological disruptions that are redefining the operating environment of companies and institutions worldwide. The Council’s four core missions are strategic foresight, thought leadership, network building, and international outreach. As such, the Council provides strategic advisory to the ESSEC Institute for Geopolitics & Business. Prof. Amb.
