How should business leaders prepare to do business in a new new world order? BCG’s Nikolaus Lang prepares executives to completely rethink trade in a multipolar future, in which they must navigate different geopolitical, social, and environmental considerations.

Organization structure, supply chains, customer expectations…much will have to change. Help Us Imagine the Future--Send Us Your Ideas or Questions What major changes or disruptions do YOU see on the horizon? Please email us the future scenario you’d like us to explore.
