Stephen Jacobi explores how boards should monitor and respond to shifting global political and trade dynamics.
Join us at Wellington Branch’s Annual Dinner – always a highlight of the event calendar.
We’re delighted to welcome as guest speaker one of NZ’s preeminent trade commentators, Stephen Jacobi, for a discussion on how boards can monitor, assess and respond to geopolitical risk.
Geopolitical dynamics - from trade tensions and supply chain disruptions to changing alliances - are influencing the operating environment for New Zealand organisations as never before. Boards need to anticipate and respond to how these developments could impact market access, investment decisions, and organisational resilience.
This conversation addresses and aligns with IoD’s Top 5 issues for directors in 2025, where global uncertainty and its impact on trade and investment is shaping strategic priorities for boards.
Drawing on decades of experience advising government and business leaders, Stephen will share insights into emerging trends, scenario planning for uncertainty, and the board’s role in safeguarding long-term strategic positioning.
