Strategy Under Pressure: Understanding the Trajectory of Risk
What business leaders can learn from modern conflict about reading signals, choosing strategy and leading through uncertainty.
Dallas Business Club is pleased to host Dr. Robert Pape in September for a timely discussion on how business leaders can think more strategically in a period of global instability.
When conflict escalates, business leaders are forced to make decisions in an environment shaped by uncertainty, market volatility and fast-moving public narratives. Rather than focusing on political science, Prof Pape will discuss his experience advising the highest level political and business leaders here and abroad.
What You’ll Hear
Dr. Pape will offer insights on:
- interpreting the signals that may matter most to markets and business strategy
- understanding where punishments and incentives are effective and where they fall short
- recognizing how pressure tactics can backfire and create unintended consequences
- managing reputational risk, misinformation and workforce concerns during global instability
Why Attend
This event is designed for executives and senior professionals who want a sharper framework for understanding how geopolitical developments can affect business strategy, leadership judgment and risk management.
