This session brings together senior leaders to examine the evolving responsibilities of the HR function - not just as a steward of culture, but as a strategic engine for institutional adaptability. In a world where global ambition increasingly collides with local volatility, the ability to design resilient, culturally coherent organisations has become a critical differentiator.
Dr. Daniel Thorniley, a renowned expert on emerging markets, geopolitics and business strategy, will guide the discussion, drawing on real-world case studies from Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The panel will support how organisations can maintain trust, leadership and plan better across fragmented markets and competing geopolitical and economic agendas.
Key Discussion Points
:
• In a world of change, how are geopolitics and economic fragmentation reshaping leadership accountability and HR's strategic mandate?
• The role of corporate culture as ballast in turbulent markets and how can strong values offset systemic instability?
• The implications of migration and displacement on HR are deep, multi-layered and increasingly urgent especially as climate change, geopolitical instability and economic shifts accelerate these trends
• Building leadership teams that can adapt across jurisdictions with divergent regulatory and cultural expectations
• What HR can learn from emerging market volatility about workforce resilience, localisation and decentralised decision-making
• Whether 'adaptive leadership' is a viable long-term model or a stopgap for institutional indecision
