"It was a great experience, both insightful and engaging. We explored the rationale behind U.S. tariff shocks, the rise of China and its impact on geopolitics, as well as AI adoption and its relevance to business. We also learned how to ask better questions to support smart decision-making and scenario planning in today’s complex environment, helping us navigate both headwinds and tailwinds."
