00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:03.330
<v ->Geopolitics are an increasingly
prevalent topic in many</v>

2
00:00:03.330 --> 00:00:05.790
boardrooms and executive committees.

3
00:00:05.790 --> 00:00:10.140
Many CEOs are struggling to make sense out

4
00:00:10.140 --> 00:00:13.500
of the forces that are shaping
their business landscape.

5
00:00:13.500 --> 00:00:16.650
On one side, there is this
unbalanced multipolarity

6
00:00:16.650 --> 00:00:17.730
of different countries

7
00:00:17.730 --> 00:00:22.050
and regions, UD on one side is
increasingly isolationistic

8
00:00:22.050 --> 00:00:24.480
and focusing on high tariffs.

9
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:25.620
Europe is struggling

10
00:00:25.620 --> 00:00:29.280
with competitiveness in
energy, tech, and defense.

11
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:33.300
China is playing an important
role in emerging markets

12
00:00:33.300 --> 00:00:35.250
of Africa and Latin America.

13
00:00:35.250 --> 00:00:38.640
India is part of an aspiring Global South

14
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:41.790
that will play an increasing
role on the global sea.

15
00:00:41.790 --> 00:00:45.390
And these unbalanced multipolarity
translate into different

16
00:00:45.390 --> 00:00:48.540
battlegrounds, battlegrounds
that can be tariffs,

17
00:00:48.540 --> 00:00:51.870
as we have seen in recent
trade wars, but also tech

18
00:00:51.870 --> 00:00:55.380
and AI race, which has
actually led to the bifurcation

19
00:00:55.380 --> 00:00:57.750
of tech stacks between a US tech stack

20
00:00:57.750 --> 00:00:58.890
and a Chinese tech stack.

21
00:00:58.890 --> 00:01:02.850
And finally, the world is
seeing more than 25 high profile

22
00:01:02.850 --> 00:01:07.380
conflicts as we speak. In this
uniquely complex environment,

23
00:01:07.380 --> 00:01:11.250
the CHRO plays a crucial role as a sparing

24
00:01:11.250 --> 00:01:15.720
and thought partner for the
CEO, not only to make sense out

25
00:01:15.720 --> 00:01:19.230
of this environment,
but also to give purpose

26
00:01:19.230 --> 00:01:20.490
and direction

27
00:01:20.490 --> 00:01:24.000
to the employees in an
increasingly fragmenting world.
