Complimentary HBR Webinar

Over the past 30 years, we’ve experienced a remarkable era of macrostability, characterized by largely peaceful geopolitics, expanding credit markets, and moderate inflation. But the landscape has shifted. We’ve now entered a new era of volatility, where familiar strategies no longer apply, and the instincts leaders have developed over the past few decades need to be rethought.
In this uncertain environment, success requires a strategy built around three key capabilities: prediction, adaptability, and resilience.
On November 11, in a live, interactive webinar, Bain & Company’s Dunigan O’Keeffe and Karen Harris, coauthors of the HBR article How to Succeed in an Era of Volatility, discussed how to thrive in turbulent times. During this session, they explored:
- How the global business environment has changed and what the “new rules” of leadership entail.
- Why adaptability, resilience, and prediction are the core capabilities for navigating uncertainty.
- Practical steps leadership teams can take to start preparing now for the challenges ahead.
Thriving in this new era isn’t about a single change or intervention. It’s about combining awareness, experimentation, and execution to balance competing priorities and allocate resources smartly.
