We are living through a great transition. From the climate emergency and geopolitical tensions to the disruption of generative AI, the future is no longer a predictable extrapolation of the past. Business strategies and innovations often lead to negative unintended consequences. These are not just business issues: they are market-breaking, systemic risks associated with increasingly radical interdependence. The old playbook is broken, and yet we struggle to get out of the doom loop of short-term thinking and "go-it-alone" strategizing. This talk explores how forward-thinking leaders are meeting the moment—catalyzing cross-sector ecosystems to "work" the problems that no single entity can solve alone. We will look at real-world examples of businesses, regulators and stakeholders coming together to co-create better futures. We’ll discuss the skills, relationships and strategies needed to stop reacting to the future and start creating it together, turning future systemic risks into collaborative opportunities.
