It’s that special time of year to get together, renew relationships, review the year just gone and look forward to the year ahead.
This is a time of optimism, excitement and a deep sense of purpose to make the best of what’s ahead.
And that’s exactly how I’m feeling as I put on my snow boots and prepare to head out to the World Economic Forum here in Davos.
This year, as in past years, the World Economic Forum is going to be focused on identifying global challenges, exchanging ideas and developing collective solutions.
Top-of-mind issues this year include ongoing geopolitical tensions, open conflict in regional hotspots, slowing growth, and concerns about the pace of the net zero transition.
More generally, the World Economic Forum has identified a ‘crisis of trust’ in the global economy.
