Geopolitical Strategy & Risk
Geopolitical Strategy & Risk
Public Diplomacy for Business
The reputation risk for companies doing business across borders and cultures has never been more extreme or fast-paced. Technology-empowered employee, consumer and citizen activists combined with a growing focus on national priorities – whether Brazil Above Everything, Brexit, Make in India, China Standards 2035 or Made in All of America – have thrust business into the frontlines of 21st century geopolitical competition.
As the competition centers on economic, technological and diplomatic superiority –
battlegrounds that nearly all multinational organizations influence – companies are in the political and public spotlight attempting to navigate it all. Reputation and influence has never been more important to business resilience at the same time it’s never been more at risk.
Powell Tate’s Geopolitical Strategy & Risk Group counsels clients to protect and elevate their reputation and influence, mitigate risk, and capitalize on leadership opportunities in the 21st century geopolitical arena.
