Summary Notes: HRD Briefing – Guiding Principles for Shaping Future Business

On Wednesday 22 April, CRF and our partners Headspring co-hosted an in-person event for senior HR leaders – Guiding Principles for Shaping Future Business: Geopolitics, Talent & Organisational Resilience.

Featuring expert input from speakers Alec Russell, Foreign Editor, Financial Times and Björn Beam, Director of Technology Analysis & Geopolitical Intelligence Expert, the session included:

• The longer-term structural shifts leaders should not overlook, including the second boom in Chinese manufacturing and the rise of global ‘middle powers’.
• The wide-ranging and interconnected impact of the war in Iran, spanning technology, economics, migration and more.
• Why leaders now need to act as ‘geopolitical strategists’ and build the resilience to thrive both in periods of instability and when conditions are more favourable.

These Summary Notes recap the insights and provide links to further resources.
