Overview

It is a disruptive time to do business: rapidly changing technology; sustained tensions between superpowers; the most elections ever in a year.

Geopolitical insight is now a core business competency. Leaders who understand global power dynamics can better anticipate disruptions, manage risks, and seize opportunities in our increasingly volatile world.

What you'll learn

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Understand the origin of economic security concepts and the use of economics in contemporary geopolitics.
  • Anticipate and assess the commercial and operational consequences of geopolitical shocks.
  • Identify new markets and upsides amid geopolitical disruption.
  • Create a strategic toolkit for adapting to geopolitical disruption.

Sydney Executive Plus

Delivered by Sydney Executive Plus, you will learn strategies and tools for navigating geopolitical risk, international politics and the global economy from experts at the United States Studies Centre.

Aims

The sprint will help you to understand economic security approaches around the world; shifting supply chain policies; how firms should respond to regional tensions; emerging market forces in APAC; and how business leaders can anticipate and interpret these shifts.

Content

  • The new disruptive reality of geopolitics.
  • The weaponisation of economics.
  • Geopolitical shocks and their impacts on business.
  • New markets and upsides emerging from current geopolitical shifts.
  • Creating a strategic toolkit for managing geopolitical risks and opportunities.

This course is suitable for executives, leaders and managers looking to improve their understanding of the global political landscape.

This course will be delivered online via self-paced modules and livestreams over two weeks.

Materials

All course materials are provided electronically. After enrolment, you will receive an email from Sydney Executive Plus with all the instructions you need to access the course materials and communications platforms.

It is recommended if participants have broad knowledge of business processes and management, current affairs, and some understanding of business supply chains. Detailed knowledge is not required.

The final project requires participants to reflect on the concepts and skills learnt throughout the sprint and consider how they might be applied to actual organisations. While it is not mandatory, you will be encouraged to base your final project on your own organisation and/or experience.
