On Monday 16 December we held the opening session of our Geostrategic Resilience Programme supported by PwC. This programme helps Resilience First members strengthen their resilience capabilities in a rapidly shifting geopolitical landscape.

The virtual discussion brought together thought leaders from the private sector, government and academia to delve into the key implications of the US Presidential election results.

Topics:

  • Insights into the incoming administration and its implications for business
  • Understanding geostrategic resilience and practical tools to enhance your organisation’s capabilities
  • Examples of how your organisation can anticipate and respond to shifts in the geopolitical environment
  • Historical comparisons

Speakers:

  • Lord Gavin Barwell, former MP (2010-2017), and Chief of Staff to the UK Prime Minister (2017-2019)
  • Alex Sagovsky, Director of Crisis, Resilience and Geopolitical Risk, PwC
  • Dr. Laura Ellyn Smith, Presidential Historian, Oxford University
