Since I joined APCO Worldwide a year ago, I've been impressed by the deep expertise and insights my colleagues, including James Robinson, Teresa L., Peter Supinski, Gavin McGovern, Rosalind Reischer, Ryan M. and others bring to the table. These insights and expertise are reflected in the Q4 edition of APCO's Geopolitical Radar - the Radar reflects thinking and analysis from APCO’s teams from around the world and anticipates the opportunities and risks global businesses will face in the coming months. Several issues covered in this edition include: • The focus of multilateral convenings this fall on climate change, and how businesses factor into the global agenda on climate. • Implications several key elections in 2024 will have for the global business environment. • Persistent “main street” economic concerns in several regions contributing to a broader trend of uncertainty around the economy, particularly inflation and wages coupled with high costs of living.

As the geopolitical landscape continues to become more complex, the traditional approach of C-suites and board directors addressing geopolitical complexities has proven ineffective. Last year, MNCs bore $60b+ in costs responding to the Ukrainian conflict, leading to 1,100+ companies closing or divesting entirely from the region. Kearney's new whitepaper explores this topic & presents a fresh perspective, going beyond supply chain risk to assess organization-wide exposure, identifying both risks and opportunities amid uncertainty, and challenging the board to own the challenge. Read the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/gC5m-nEA Highlights: 1. Company exposure to any geographic region spans beyond the supply chain topics of sourcing, logistics, and inventory - it encompasses market dynamics, support services, people, and so much more. 2. Geopolitical strategy is a board-level responsibility. Designate a proactive owner within Risk, Audit, or a dedicated committee to champion this critical agenda. 3. New collaborations should be built to deepen geopolitical expertise —academics, military officials, policy leaders, and think tank members can participate in company "intelligence panels" to co-design policy scenarios, educate CXOs/Board directors, and challenge the thinking.
