Members will automatically receive a calendar invitation.

On March 3, 2021, the Outthinker Strategy Network will engage in a roundtable discussion with Tom Crawford of Ankura, a global consulting group with deep expertise in analyzing and contextualizing the many political, sociopolitical, economic, and technological trends that exist, are developing, and continually changing in today’s world.

As OSN members are fully aware, there are a vast number of trends and shifts in global business markets underway. There is a need to think about strategic preparation for these trends and the strategic adoption of new technologies more than ever before.

In this roundtable, Tom will give an overview of an array of forces currently at play before engaging in an open discussion with the group on the topics most important to them and how to make your executive team and leaders aware of them while also juggling the need to focus on the day-to-day and quarterly performance. Some of these forces include….

• • The Trump-Biden transition (impact on markets, relationships, policy)
  • Cybersecurity
  • China- Changing role and power
  • 5G
  • Deglobalization
  • Protectionism (includes supply chain disruption)
  • Data- standards, liability, localization, colonization
  • ESG
  • Climate Change

If there is a desire for a deeper discussion dedicated to any of the sub-topics above, Tom has agreed to work with us to arrange additional events for the network to do so.
