11-Feb-2026
In this session at EDGE 2026 in Sydney, Hagai Segal provides CEOs with a practical framework for navigating geopolitical disruption. Moving beyond headlines and alarmism, he reframes today’s environment as a “poly crisis world” where multiple risks bubble simultaneously — yet remain analyzable and manageable.
Rather than preparing for catastrophe, Segal argues that leaders must modernize governance, integrate geopolitical literacy into board discussions, and proactively identify opportunity within volatility. The session blends macro power shifts — including US–China dynamics, AI-driven global influence, and cyber geopolitics — with clear operational guidance for corporate decision-making.
Key Takeaways:
• Geopolitics is constant background risk, not perpetual catastrophe.
• Risk management must evolve beyond actuarial box-ticking toward cultural integration.
• The most resilient CEOs treat geopolitics as a source of competitive advantage, not paralysis.
