Embracing Global Uncertainty in the 21st Century

NACD New England is proud to partner with The Fletcher School at Tufts University to offer an exclusive series on global risk, hands-on strategy, and leadership skill-building.

Today’s business context is highly global, highly fluid, and highly unpredictable—influenced by uncertainties that may be geopolitical, geo-economic, technological, or ecological—and which intersect and interact to constantly reshape the landscape.  We are held accountable for growth and stability, but our usual strategies for decision-making can’t be applied in the same way. How can corporate directors, who provide oversight responsibilities on long-term vision and broad contextual factors, be successful?

We invite you to join us for the first annual Global Strategy Retreat, a one-day, in-person executive leadership program at The Fletcher School. In collaboration with peers and Fletcher faculty experts, you will learn how to harness global contextual risk into a competitive advantage.

This executive program will prepare a cohort of corporate directors to reframe how they understand and manage global contextual risk—not as a compliance function, but as a strategic capability. Focusing on geopolitical, geo-economic and geotechnological risk, this leadership summit will prepare corporate directors to diagnose, anticipate alternative futures, and manage risk with strategic discipline—leveraging Fletcher’s global faculty, practitioner network, and practice-based approach.

This full-day leadership summit begins with a working dinner on the night of Monday, March 30. 

The program agenda is still being finalized, so start and end times are tentative and subject to change.

Who Should Attend?

Board Directors and CEOs of both public and private companies impacted by rapid shifts in geopolitics and global technology.
