A new report by the World Economic Forum (this one in collaboration with McKinsey) is out: „The Global Cooperation Barometer 2024“. As often with these things the results might at first be somewhat surprising (global overall cooperation only very slightly decreasing in the last years), though - having read it - in the new structure your thinking has now, much less surprising: Of the areas investigated…. Trade and Capital Innovation and Technology Climate and Natural Capital Health and Wellness Peace and Security four exhibit an (almost) steady rise in Global Cooperation. The one big exception being (and this unfortunately is the expected result): Peace and Security. Noteworthy: „A second development also lowered the score for global cooperation on peace and security - cyberspace became a new theater for conflicts“ Well worth the read.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 triggered more than 1,000 companies to curtail their operations in the world’s 11th biggest economy, revealing an imperative for global firms to bolster their ability to anticipate geopolitical risk and build resilience. The global order still reels from disruptions related to the war in Ukraine, including those in energy, food security, supply chains, and more. A central concern among global CEOs who speak with us is whether and how they will contend with additional geopolitical ruptures when they occur. As Japan’s prime minister, Fumio Kishida, stated at the 2022 Shangri-La Dialogue global security forum, “Ukraine today may be East Asia tomorrow.” In between navigating the fallout from Europe and unfolding strategic competition in Asia, multinational corporations must also manage a host of long-tail political risks and conflicts across other geographies, including Africa and South Asia. Even as boards and CEOs work to build capabilities in managing such risks and developing geopolitical resilience, the imperative to lift one’s gaze and look around the corner has become key to strategy and performance. Scenario planning is squarely back. In the extensive literature on scenario planning, notably Peter Schwartz’s The Art of the Long View, a core point is the need to develop frameworks, with colorful and gripping language, that help leaders “reperceive” the future and unlock strategic foresight. To facilitate such reperceiving, we outline a framework for geopolitical scenario planning that categorizes geopolitical events in three ways: black swans, gray rhinos, and silver linings. Evolving from scanning to planning across these categories, leaders should develop lookouts as an early-warning system and full-scale contingency plans for a core subset of geopolitical risks.

During #WEASA2024 we will examine how to effectively address the current geopolitical dynamics that are affecting the world from a security perspective, as well how they may impede the Euro-Atlantic integration process. Furthermore, we will practice how to be (digitally) secured at national, institutional and personal levels in these turbulent times.
