Understanding the Risks and Opportunities of Our Geopolitical Inflection Point
Eras — and the labels they carry — have helped successive generations understand and navigate the world around them. But the present moment lacks a clear label; we’ve moved beyond the Cold War and even the post-9/11 period that followed it. What will fill this void remains hotly contested among the world’s most powerful leaders. In this talk, Ned Price, who has served in senior roles at the CIA, White House, and State Department, will discuss the current historical inflection point and its implications for governments, business leaders, and investors. He will offer a perspective informed by countless hours inside the White House Situation Room, where he and senior colleagues from the Obama and Biden Administrations deliberated the world’s most complex and consequential challenges. His analysis will help audiences understand where we are — and where we’re headed — to leave them best positioned to leverage opportunities and avoid the pitfalls of the increasingly complex world around us.
Preparing for Uncertainty and Navigating Surprise
Amidst the few certainties in today’s world, one of them is surprise. No government or corporation, regardless of how savvy and informed, can be prepared for every contingency. What matters is how well they are prepared for — and ultimately respond to — the unexpected. In this discussion, Ned Price will draw on his extensive experience leading through crisis at the CIA, the White House, and the State Department, offering practical lessons for those called on to navigate uncertainty and the surprises it often brings. He will extrapolate from some of the more notable challenges of the past Obama and Biden Administrations — from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa — in a presentation that will leave leaders better prepared to respond in the moment.
