On top of “business-as-usual”, company leaders must face very complex and uncertain geopolitical and macroeconomic challenges, particularly for global companies. Some of the macroeconomic uncertainties these leaders have to overcome are inflation, rising interest rates, and fear of recession. Businesses also have to deal with the diversification of its supply chains and potential relocation of manufacturing plants, energy supply restrictions and cybersecurity risks, while reaching its business, equity and sustainability goals. Join us to hear from MIT faculty and MIT Startup Exchange entrepreneurs to learn about their views on how to deal with some of these pressing issues, lead creatively and innovate in times of uncertainty.
