I warned of viral pandemics like COVID in 1998 and 2015 (books), and in hundreds of health care keynotes for multinationals, health agencies, governments. I always say: "The world can change faster than you can call a board meeting - need for Agility".

I warned repeatedly over the last 22 years in several books, at large numbers of corporate events and in many global media broadcasts, about global threats from new mutant viruses, which we see emerging somewhere in the world once every 12 months on average.  

As I often say to corporations: the world can change faster than you can hold a board meeting (and I don't just mean threats from viral pandemics).  The days of depending on only one Strategy are over.  Every company needs Plan B, C, D and E as well, and to be AGILE in leadership, able to respond very rapidly to major events in our hyper-connected world.

10 steps to Agile Leadership in a Crisis. Keys to Agile Business Strategy in uncertain times: Turn market chaos into opportunity. Take Hold of Your Future. Leadership keynote speaker

How to lead in times of crisis - turning chaos into opportunity.  Here are keys to agile leadership.

I have been teaching for over a decade how speed of change will be a huge challenge for all leaders and will demand Agile Leadership. 

Strategies of large corporations risk being overtaken by events.  Never has this been more true than in the last couple of years with COVID, Russian invasion of Ukraine and other major disruptions. Your world can change faster than you can hold a board meeting - and I'm not just talking about political changes, energy crises, civil conflicts, trade wars or mutant viruses.

Every large business contains hundreds of potential Wild Card risks - each of which may be very unlikely, but the combined risks can be huge - with very high probability of disruption from one event or another in any year. That's why we will see growing emphasis on Leadership Agility, Dynamic Strategy, back-up plans and Adaptive Risk Management.

How China will dominate the world, and why most business leaders are blind to China's impact. Future of China, economy, trade, manufacturing, consumers, retail, e-commerce, military and security. Futurist Keynote Speaker

By 2040 China will dominate almost all global markets. Most business and government leaders are blind to China's gigantic future impact. China already has the world’s largest banking assets of $42 trillion, and China is the world’s largest economy when measured by Purchasing Power Parity, which takes into account how much the same basic items cost in each nation.

China is the world's largest manufacturer, the largest exporter, the fastest growing consumer market. China is the world leader in digital innovation, high-speed rail and green tech. China generates 40% of all global e-commerce transactions, and files more patents than any other nation. Mandarin is the most common first language spoken by 800 million web users, and China is the world’s largest e-commerce market with 40% of global share.  Chinese people will spend which $1.8 trillion online by 2022....
