Q4, 2023 ISSUE OUT NOW

Division is apparent all around us. From heated exchanges on social media to angry protests on the streets, society can sometimes feel more fractious than at any time in recent years. Meanwhile, at a global level there is a widespread sense of rising geopolitical tension. The dynamics of power are shifting and they could lead to the unraveling of globalization as we know it.

Those complex challenges have a multitude of implications for business, so, our Focus section explores how leaders can navigate today’s divided world and deliver win-win benefits for business and society. We also raise our eyes to the world stage and ask, what are the megatrends reshaping the global picture? What are their implications for business supply chains? And if the balance of power is shifting, is it time to look again at the role of government in galvanizing private investment in pursuit of societal goals?
