  • Global Inflation: One Year Later -- Decisions CEO's Should Make [encore]

    Global Inflation: One Year Later -- Decisions CEO's Should Make [encore]
    Dec 16 2023
    It has been a year since governments and Central Banks focused on bringing down inflation. And while progress has been made, inflation remains higher than policymakers want, and there is still a way to go to achieve the targets Central Banks have set around the world. In Episode 23, we are revisiting a topic we addressed one year ago, Global Inflation and What Decisions CEOs Should Be Making to grow in this economic environment. We are very pleased to have our guests from last year back to provide their perspective on what has happened over the last 12 months and what should CEOs be planning for over the next 12 months to grow their businesses.

  • The Myths and Realities of Doing Business in Africa Part 1 & 2 [encore]

    The Myths and Realities of Doing Business in Africa Part 1 & 2 [encore]
    Dec 15 2023
    In Episode 15 of The GET, we discussed U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris's visit to Africa to push for U.S. business investment in the continent. While this is part of President Biden's recently announced Africa initiative, there are myriad opportunities and challenges for any CEO—U.S. or otherwise--interested in doing business in Africa. Weighing the risks and the rewards, we ask the question, how should CEOs approach market entry on the African continent? Can companies rely solely on distributors? Or do they need a local representative in priority markets to gather market intelligence, manage distributors, and build relationships with the government? In Episode 20, we continue this conversation and do so using a filter of what women CEOs and business owners need to know about these myths and realities.

  • Regulatory AI Guardrails & A CEO's Guide to Redefining Work in the Era of Generative AI [encore]

    Regulatory AI Guardrails & A CEO's Guide to Redefining Work in the Era of Generative AI [encore]
    Dec 14 2023
    There is both excitement and worry about the power of generative AI. Public officials have begun discussing what role government regulation should play in shaping its uses. We know from experience that governments and public policy can create, modify, and eliminate markets overnight. How governments will choose to deal with generative AI will directly influence private sector decisions regarding investment and market opportunities. Business leaders will need to participate along with policymakers and other key stakeholders in discussions around what guardrails make the most immediate sense if countries are to balance innovative economic growth and responsible societal behavior. As generative AI advances, CEOs and business leaders have the opportunity to explore the potential of generative AI as a tool that can redefine and reorganize work. From understanding the technology's capabilities to addressing ethical considerations, companies will need to navigate this landscape strategically, exploring best practices for effectively deploying generative AI while ensuring a human-centric approach that values employee well-being and collaboration.

  • The Changes in U.S. China Relations & New Trade Realities [encore]

    The Changes in U.S. China Relations & New Trade Realities [encore]
    Dec 13 2023
    As part of this special encore release, we are sharing two episodes that focus on the information CEO's must know when making major International decisions. In part 1, we dig into the two factors that have shaped the last few decades of global economics. In 2001, the U.S. granted China permanent most favored nation trade status, and China was formally admitted into the World Trade Organization. Since then, CEOs have operated their businesses to factor in a relatively cooperative economic and geopolitical relationship between the U.S. and China. But today things are different. We discuss how things have changed and what are the factors CEOs need to address as they execute their business over the next few decades. In part 2, we explore one of the greatest developments for global trade and economic growth after World War II. The creation of multilateral institutions that set the rules for international trade and economic relations among countries. Institutions like the World Trade Organization (WTO) have brought countries together to agree to a set of common practices. But as the WTO was launched to harmonize of rules for traditional commerce, technology was enabling a whole new type of commerce and only a decade later, eCommerce was a part of everyday life for billions of people. Today's CEOs must decide how to advance their tangible and intangible investments and assets, if they are to capture global opportunities. And they have to do this as geopolitics is reasserting itself over geoeconomics as the organizing principle for trade. CEOs need to adjust to a new landscape that is very different from the rules that have been in place for over 30 years.
