Governing for the Future in a Globally-Interdependent World

What should Board Directors focus on to effectively support a company’s drive for global growth? This challenge requires both a strategic and practical understanding, as various factors shape the global landscape. These include shifting geopolitics, global economics, the impact of trade tariffs, access to labor pools outside the U.S., and the implications for supply chains in both the short and long term.

For most companies, achieving global growth involves a strategic process and concrete actions to either respond to global demand or optimize supply-side capabilities. Even companies that are already operating internationally must stay attuned to a rapidly changing world. As they navigate both long-term strategies and immediate tactical decisions, they must consider evolving global dynamics.
