Navigating Megatrends

An Exclusive CEO Workshop

By Rohit Prasad, Professor and Area Chairperson – Economics And Public Policy, MDI and Deepak Sharma, Cofounder and Director – Kanvic Consulting

About the CEO Workshop

Kanvic’s CEO Workshop equips visionary leaders with strategic foresight to navigate global shifts. Designed specifically for CEOs and senior executives, the CEO workshop explores the critical business mega-trends reshaping industries and markets.

We live in transformative times, where breathtaking possibilities are accompanied by unprecedented risks. In the past, CEOs primarily focused on competition, industry trends, culture, and innovation to steer their organisation. 

Today, however, leaders must navigate a far broader spectrum of challenges arising from the global megatrends — from geopolitics and trade wars to climate change and artificial intelligence. Kanvic research reveals that these global megatrends are becoming central to leadership conversations. CEOs today must understand the future of business strategy in light of emerging mega-trends.

The shifting business landscape demands a robust framework to spot weak signals, connect the dots in global mega-trends, and act decisively. Kanvic's CEO Workshop “Navigating a World in Transition” is tailored for senior leaders and management teams seeking insights into global mega-trends.

The Six Global Mega-trends

Geopolitics

The world is moving away from a unipolar to a multipolar reality, causing trade wars and disrupting global supply chains

Political Polarisation

Politics is becoming extremely polarised, drawing businesses in picking sides and creating uncertainty  

Digital Capitalism

Digital capitalism is emerging as a new model of building business, breaking away from classical capitalism, making capital raising a new capability 

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence is improving at a breakneck speed, requiring business, government and society to reimagine a new future of economic value creation and distribution 

Climate Change

The progress of the last decade has come to a crossroads, with different directions taken by countries based on their economic development and domestic agenda

Societal Shifts

Erosion of the middle-class and emergence of a multi-generational workforce, demanding new ways of working and serving customers

What You’ll Gain From The CEO Workshop

The CEO workshop equips senior leaders and management teams with the tools and perspectives to thrive amid heightened uncertainty and novel opportunities shaping the future of leadership.

  • A proven model to decode global mega-trends across six critical dimensions: geopolitics, economics, politics, technology and AI, social shifts, and climate change.

  • Insights into global supply chain disruptions and their reconfigurations impacting industries worldwide.

  • An in-depth perspective on artificial intelligence and how it can be applied effectively to transform your business beyond mere models and use cases.

In today’s volatile world, businesses are increasingly vulnerable to high-impact events that can rapidly reshape the rules of the game. To stay ahead, business leaders need a structured framework. The CEO workshop equips leaders with the capabilities to be truly future-ready.
