Are we allowed to be optimistic about 2021?

There is no doubt that 2020 has dragged the globe through a series of extremes. Widespread economic turmoil amid the global health crisis has left most sectors damaged, some beyond repair. As we approach the new year, headwinds from Brexit and the need to navigate a new work reality will pose fresh obstacles to today’s business. Yet, the hope of a covid-19 vaccine and political developments in the US have sparked tentative optimism in the stock markets and beyond.

Business leaders sit at the nexus of change: the real challenge of the new year will be realising the hopes of 2020 amongst the hurdles of 2021. The question is, how can businesses, governments and nations lay out the path towards recovery and collective growth? 

In a new two-part series, our expert panels will address where businesses will need to focus in 2021 alongside the big picture changes that are fundamentally transforming the world we live in.

Episode 1: Beyond Business: The Path to Collective Recovery

We explore the key actors and frameworks that will enable collective action against global challenges.

Key topics for this panel discussion include: 

  • What are the macroeconomic trends that will define 2021?
  • What will a collaborative path to recovery look like?
  • What will be the major challenges to operating collectively across nations? How can those be overcome?
