NBS-PRI-ECGI Public Lecture Series - Are We Listening? Using Conflict Analytics to Manage Corporate Political Risk
As geopolitical tensions continue to reshape the global business landscape, organisations face growing political risks across their supply chains, workforce, customers, and operating environments. This session explores why traditional approaches to managing political risk are becoming less effective and introduces a conflict-listening framework that helps organisations identify early signs of conflict and better understand local stakeholder concerns.
Drawing on research and real-world examples, the speaker will share practical insights on political risk assessment, due diligence, and stakeholder engagement.
