Bernard Baumohl

Bernie lays out the opportunities and risks ahead for the U.S. and international economy. It is a topic of tremendous urgency these days because the economic and geopolitical order of the last century is no more! The Covid pandemic, war in Ukraine and the reversals in globalization are completely transforming the entire business landscape. Adding more complexity to the outlook are rising interest rates and high inflation. As a consequence, every firm is now experimenting, exploring and testing out new strategies on how to survive and prosper in this new, and still evolving, business landscape.

Among the key themes Bernie covers in his keynotes are these:

• Where is the economy headed and how might it impact your business?
• What are the implications for consumer and business spending, supply chains, inflation, interest rates and dollar?
• How do you make business decisions when the outlook is so murky and geopolitical tensions keep escalating?
• Who will be the leaders and laggards in the world economy?
• Which economic and geopolitical threats are likely to erupt next?
• How can businesses navigate through a crisis-prone world economy?
