As the world begins to reflect on their COVID-19 experience, the changes it caused in society, and how governments, companies and communities have had to adapt, we also begin to focus on strategizing a way forward. This path forward is especially important for Multinational Companies (MNC’s) who have started to feel the ripple effects of a global growth slowdown in their demand, confidence and supply chain. Companies will need to revamp their business plans, expectations, and plan of action to increase their resilience long-term.

The surge in talk about decoupling and self-reliance begs the question, has the world reached ‘peak globalisation’?

Dire challenges resulting from climate change are cementing sustainability and green growth as a necessity for all countries.
