The human condition

Current discussions and future thinking are focusing on socio economic factors, geopolitics, war, environmental issues, technological transformation and AI — all converging around the theme of the human condition. The governance and risk management implications for governments, corporations, small businesses, charities, global alliances and community organisations are profound.
