The world is going to see more economic change in the next 5 years than we have seen in the last 100 years. AI adoption, US-China tariff wars, turmoil in the Middle East, war in the Ukraine, interest rate volatility are all examples of the speed of change.

But how did we get here? More importantly, where do we go from here?

Andy provides the context needed to understand the forces at work creating momentum for change in the economy and your business. GenAI, Agentic AI, Trump executive orders & tariffs and OBBB are just a few of the extraordinary tools/spending being leveraged right now. Are you aligning yourself for what will occur? Andy literally wrote the book on large, catastrophic events and how they impact our markets, economy and world.

As a futurist and economist, Andy dives deep into exploring how innovation, policy changes and societal shifts (war/elections/demographics) drive opportunities for clients. He provides context by doing a “where we’ve been, where we are and where we’re going” for the economy, public policy, and trends. Then he wraps those together to show where growth opportunities appear in AI, agentic AI and diversified revenue streams.

Audience Takeaways:
