Economic, Policy, & Labor Market Update

The macro environment around us is constantly changing, often with significant ramifications. As we transition to a multipolar world, there are shifting global alliances and multiple conflict hot spots around the world, some of which have turned into full-out war. Not to mention tariffs, sanctions, trade embargoes and many other disruptive forces at work. All of this impacts your business — sometimes directly and sometimes indirectly. There are financial, operational, strategic, and social implications business leaders and key decision makers in the STAFDA market must be aware of to successfully navigate the evolving landscape.

In this session, you’ll hear from Alex Chausovsky, the President of 3DM Consulting, who will deliver an insightful analysis of how these events will impact the economy and how they could affect the outlook for your business. He’ll explain the potential impact on supply chains, input prices, and labor market dynamics, among others. Most importantly, he’ll share what key leading indicators are telling us about the direction of the industry and offer practical and actionable advice for business leaders based on today’s geopolitical and macroeconomic forces, helping audience members plan for future operating conditions.

Attendees will walk away from the session with the following insights:

• An objective assessment of time-sensitive geopolitical and economic indicators such as conflict, business investment, inflation, interest rates, and tariffs
• Concrete advice on how to navigate the current macroeconomic climate and plan for the future, with a particular focus on tactical advice
• Risk management and flexible scenario planning strategies to help you make informed decisions in an uncertain world
• Tools leaders can leverage to be data-driven decision makers for their organizations
