Geopolitics Series: Navigating America’s New Direction
U.S. policy is changing – stay ahead or fall behind
As the U.S. rapidly reshapes its economic and regulatory landscape, businesses worldwide are already feeling the ripple effects. Announcements that once seemed like rhetoric are now turning into real policies, often with little warning and immediate consequences. Uncertainty is growing, and the stakes are higher than ever.
Executives can’t afford to just react; they need both the foresight to anticipate what’s next and the tools to navigate uncertainty with confidence, both for today and the future.
IMD’s online Navigating America’s New Direction program delivers the critical insights, historical precedents, and strategic frameworks to help you cut through the uncertainty and turn policy shifts into opportunity.
Led by IMD’s expert faculty, this four-part program takes a deep dive into the policies that matter most: trade, energy, digital regulation, and taxation. Through historical precedent analysis, expert-designed diagnostic tools, and real-world business archetypes, you’ll gain a structured, four-phase approach to identifying risks and opportunities, assessing impact, and developing strategic responses to strengthen your organization’s resilience to both current and future disruptions.
What makes this program so unique?
- Beyond the media: News outlets chase clicks and amplify every shift in policy – losing focus on the bigger picture. We help you interpret the political theatre, separate signal from noise, and provide tailored insights so you can respond strategically over time.
- Insights that go deeper: Unlike broad, one-size-fits-all reports, this program equips you with tools and frameworks to build internal capabilities for ongoing policy tracking and response. Plus, IMD’s exclusive access to granular policy trackers through the St. Gallen Endowment gives us insights that others don’t have.
- A practical approach: You won’t just hear analysis – you’ll apply a structured, step-by-step method to assess risks, quantify business impact, and develop targeted strategies that strengthen your competitive position.
- Real-world business archetypes: We go beyond theory, using industry-specific business archetypes and historical precedent analysis to help you understand how different companies are affected and what responses work best. With built-in policy timelines, you’ll learn how to proactively navigate policy dynamics.
- Immediate takeaways: You’ll leave with checklists, action plans, and access to key data sources so you can proactively track, assess, and navigate policy shifts and external forces shaping your landscape, and impacting your business.
