Five things to watch this Quarter

A Growing Skills Discrepancy

The shift to a global Green Economy, and the breakdown of ‘globalisation’, is overlaying dislocation from AI and other productivity enhancements.

The Global Inflation Mismatch

Two major surprises this year (for many forecasters), have been the weakness of China’s recovery, and the strength of the US economy and stockmarket.

Adopting and Adapting to
'De-risking'

Covid-19, Ukraine, and US-China trade tensions are a multi- wave storm forcing even the most trenchant supporter of global supply-chains to re-think.

Beyond Net-Zero

With El Niño roasting the global North this summer, the debate about global emissions is now being led toward a new goal – reducing atmospheric CO2.

Germany's Industrial Crisis

An economy that benefitted from ‘cheap Russian gas, cheap US defence, and strong exports to China’, has entered an existential crisis.

Looking further afield

Past, Present, Future

Great Power politics is mainstream again, after a 30 year pause. With this will come sweeping geopolitical and economic changes, that chiefs of staff in any organization will need to be mindful of.

Lessons Learned

This month, we hear from Lalo Medina, Chief of Staff at Association of Latino Professionals for America, who shares his experience of how non-profit organizations can respond to sudden cuts in funding.
