Geopolitical Issues, National Security Risks, and the Board

In a world marked by mounting geopolitical volatility—from shifting global alliances and trade policies to rising national security risks and supply chain disruptions—boards must sharpen their oversight of geopolitical risk. This session will explore what geopolitics means for corporations today, how current disruptions are impacting business operations, and what risks are top of mind for boards. Panelists will examine the potential policy priorities of a new Trump administration, offer strategies for integrating geopolitical considerations into long-term planning and enterprise risk management, and share leading practices for building resilience, preparing for geopolitical crises, and communicating effectively with stakeholders. Board members will leave with actionable insights to enhance oversight, guide strategy, and turn geopolitical awareness into competitive advantage.
