In our complex geopolitical landscape, companies are increasingly facing disruption to operations and sometimes even pressure to withdraw from certain markets. How can they navigate these issues and communicate effectively about those decisions? In today's Navigating Volatility report, we found that consumers and policymakers expected companies to take a clear stance on sensitive issues, and be transparent about their intended path forward. They also reacted negatively to companies seeming to prioritise their financial interests over "doing the right thing" - and weren't convinced by arguments which cited operational difficulties as the rationale for decision - or indecision.

How can you account for geopolitical developments and incorporate them into your strategic planning? From trade wars, severe supply chain disruptions and sanctions to political instability and social unrest, geopolitical events can have far-reaching implications for businesses. Today, companies must be able to navigate complex challenges and make decisions that enable long-term and sustainable developments while safeguarding their reputation. Yet, mitigating risks is only one part of the equation. Fundamental geopolitical shifts are also changing stakeholder expectations towards companies. As globalization is being rewired, customers, investors, employees, NGOS and others demand that companies take a stand on issues that go beyond their core business operations. To meet these expectations, companies must be ready to anticipate, assess and address interlinked geopolitical, societal and regulatory shifts. This requires continuous analysis of geopolitical developments, as well as a deep understanding of how these developments may affect their business and core stakeholders today and in the future. In doing so, companies can incorporate emerging geopolitical trends into their strategic decisions and engagement strategies. Strategic foresight provides a methodology for assessing big shifts and their impact. Starting from an individual company’s business strategy, foresight helps generate insights to understand which trends matter most to a company, how trends could unfold in different future scenarios, which engagement strategy a company should employ to mitigate risk and which decisions can help make a difference in the future.
