On Tuesday, 30 January 2024, our Board Leadership Center webinar on the “Top Geopolitical Risks in 2024 and the Strategic Imperatives for Boards” took place.

Much has changed in the geopolitical and global economic environment. Companies face a deluge of risks, including the escalation of the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East; the continuing deterioration of the US–China relationship; the potential for massive political and social disruption caused by misinformation or disinformation; and the continued polarization of society; just to name a few.

So it’s no surprise that our number one item on the 2024 board agenda this year is to link boardroom discussions on strategy, risk, and global evolution and disruption. In other words, help management reassess the company’s processes for identifying the risks and opportunities posed by these evolutions and disruptions.

Stefano Moritsch, KPMG’s Global Geopolitics Lead, explored the top risks and the bottom line for business, to help you better understand the geopolitical landscape and its potential impacts for the year(s) ahead.
