The Challenge
Good decisionmaking in today’s leading businesses requires a “beyond the boardroom” perspective, one sensitive to the reality that uncertainties have become the defining characteristics of a world that marks the end of the post-Cold War era. The momentous challenges of climate change, along with the return of state-on-state conflict and the end to political and social cohesion in the United States and elsewhere, signals the urgent need to track escalating global risks and scope the possibilities for alternative pathways forward.
The Opportunity
Stimson’s corporate engagement program will help executives navigate the expanding set of new challenges, alert them to both risks and opportunities, and map out what lies ahead through the illustration of alternative futures. As the world appears to be moving toward great power competition between the two largest economies, strategic foresight can serve as an essential guide for the management of uncertainty to allow corporate partners to be one step ahead of global peers in an ever-changing world.
Leveraging the unique expertise of CIA veteran Mathew Burrows, a globally renowned expert on strategic foresight and global trend analysis, the Stimson Center is creating a new format to deliver pragmatic, data-driven, evidence-based strategic insights to identify today’s early signals that will become the driving force of tomorrow’s future.
Who Should Join?
The corporate engagement program at Stimson is ideally suited for senior decisionmakers within organizations, and is targeted toward institutional leaders responsible for aligning increasingly complex geopolitical trends and regulatory activities. Members should be industry leaders who stand to gain actionable insights that enable smart decision-making and drive future business success.
Faced with an ever-evolving political, economic, and regulatory landscape, corporate participants will benefit from the deep expertise resident at the Stimson Center. During his time at the National Intelligence Council (NIC) Mat Burrows briefed sitting presidents on global threats – in collaboration with other experts throughout the Stimson Center, this deep expertise is now available to inform better decision-making across industry and business. Together, we can help you gain a 360-degree view of today’s issues and tomorrow’s risks and opportunities.
