Details
Navigating Instability and Conflict with Agility
A cross-industry deep dive into continuity, ethics, and resilience in volatile times.
⸻
Event Summary (75 Minutes)
Agile was built for change, but how does it hold up when the “change” is a regional crisis?
As the Middle East navigates the ripple effects of ongoing conflict, traditional frameworks focused on speed and delivery are being challenged. The focus is shifting toward resilience, adaptability, and responsible decision-making under pressure.
In this 75-minute virtual meetup, leaders from Finance, Travel, and Academia will come together for a panel discussion to share how they are maintaining “flow” while managing the “friction” of an evolving regional landscape.
This session will go beyond theory and explore real-world challenges, including:
- Rerouting logistics in response to airspace disruptions
- Protecting financial systems under heightened cybersecurity threats
- Ensuring duty of care in academia during times of instability
