Be Future

How will you prepare for the challenges of 2023?

Private Virtual Roundtable
December 2022

The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

With the ongoing war in Ukraine, a severe energy crisis and European inflation peaking at 8.8%, senior executives are preparing themselves for another turbulent 12 months [CNBC, 2022].

Yet, despite the bleak headlines, European organisations remain at the forefront of innovation and growth:

  • Europe continues to lead the world in achieving a net-zero carbon future in response to natural gas shortages [The Banker, 2022].
  • Supply chain disruptions have led to reconfigurations that will see efficiency skyrocket and costs dramatically cut in the coming year [McKinsey, 2022].
  • A new focus on Transversal technologies could present European businesses a 2-4 trillion euro growth opportunity by 2040 [McKinsey, 2022].

2023 will be unpredictable. But for the bold leader, adversity breeds innovation. That’s why we will be meeting for the final session of 2022 to explore the biggest challenges of the year ahead, and discuss how we can prepare for the crises yet to emerge. How will you be bold in 2023?
