THE GLOBAL ECONOMIC AND RISK OUTLOOK
Since 2005, Michael has been presenting The Global Economic and Risk Outlook. This speech provides an outlook for the economy in the months and years ahead, and the key changes that will impact the economy and the level of risk domestically and around the world.
WINNING IN AN AGE OF UNCERTAINTY AND CHANGE
The Winning in an Age of Uncertainty and Change speech provides audiences with a roadmap for the macro trends that are changing the world around us. It also provides a series of clear strategies for businesses and individuals to succeed in a rapidly changing world.
THE IMPACT OF DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGE
In this speech, Michael outlines the key demographic changes that are taking place today, and those that will take place in the coming years. He then describes the impact that these changes will have on the economy, businesses and individuals, and how they can prepare for these changes.
CUSTOMIZED FOR YOUR AUDIENCE
Every Audience Is Different. Every Presentation Should Be Too.
No two organizations, industries or audiences face exactly the same challenges. That is why I customize every presentation to reflect the specific interests, concerns and priorities of each event and audience.
Before each engagement, I work with the event organizer to understand the audience and identify the issues that matter most to them. I then tailor the presentation around factors such as:
-
Industry - Focusing on the economic, geopolitical, demographic and technological trends having the greatest impact on your industry.
-
Geography - Emphasizing the countries, regions and markets that matter most to your audience.
-
Audience - Adjusting the content and level of detail for executives, business owners, industry professionals, investors, economic development leaders or other groups.
-
Economic Exposure - Examining the trends in growth, inflation, interest rates, trade, labor markets and consumer demand most relevant to your organization or industry.
-
Key Risks and Opportunities - Identifying the external developments that could create the greatest challenges—or the most significant opportunities—for your audience.
-
Your Priorities - Incorporating the questions, concerns and strategic issues that you want your audience to better understand.
The result is a presentation that goes beyond a general economic or geopolitical outlook to show your audience what today's changes mean for them, and how they can prepare for what comes next.
