The world is truly in uncharted waters.
How should leaders make sense of and prepare for our unpredictable times? A reset is needed.
Our current shock is not merely about a virus. It is instead a demonstration of the vulnerability of a peaking population on a crowded planet, disciplined only by market forces, but wholly unprepared and ill-equipped.
For more than a decade GIFT has advocated for an overhaul in how to understand the 21st century and the nature of progress: from the impacts of the rise of Asia, the future of capitalism, climate change and the consequences of unchecked human interventions in natural systems in pursuit of growth.
Through a new online format, GIFT is facilitating an honest inquiry into our most salient questions to help leaders come to grips with our new realities.
Companies and Governments are Faced with Key Questions:
- What does the future hold, and how do we reset?
- How will we prepare our current and future leaders to understand the fundamentals?
- How do we make decisions amidst the crisis?
- What do our stakeholders expect of us?
- What adjustments do we make in the short and medium term?
Leaders must ask: What changes now? What does this mean for me, my team, and our core business models?
Beyond convention. Beyond a simple webinar. It is a pragmatic and practical approach to understanding the fundamental causes of ‘shocks’ and being prepared for the next one!
This is a Reset on Leadership.
