In today’s volatile landscape, senior leaders are facing an unprecedented convergence of risks, from AI disruption and geopolitical instability to economic volatility and talent shortages. Korn Ferry’s latest research and CEO & Board Survey reveal a startling truth: while leaders have more tools than ever before, their confidence in navigating risk is at an all-time low.
This session will explore how top executives are rethinking leadership, strategy, and organizational culture to stay resilient amid uncertainty. Drawing on the latest research, we’ll unpack the five critical trends shaping executive decision-making and discuss how leaders can turn risk into opportunity by embracing adaptability, emotional intelligence and strategic foresight.
