How to Win in a Volatile World

Duration: 30 mins
Location: Rotonde Stage, Rotonde

Description:

Petrified by the polycrisis or merely paralysed by the permacrisis? Besieged by black swans or grappling with grey rhinos? Or if you feel you’re sickening for the fuckening and the world has gone completely VUCAAAaarrgh – this is the session for you.

Join Contagious as it explores why the world feels less predictable and more volatile, which companies are successfully riding the shock waves, and what this all means for your brand, your team and you.
