If you are interested in honing your defensive leadership game, and spotting opportunities to turn ‘pollycrisis’ into what author Yuen Yuen Ang calls ‘polytunity’ – a multitude of opportunities, then this Salon Session is for you.

RAPT BizTrendsTV: Li Ndube on Afro-optimism - African growth vs Western degrowth

Danette Breitenbach 25 Feb 2025

Trends

The session will examine the new shiny opportunities arising for local businesses and brands from geopolitical, macro and micro economic and socio-cultural trends, including:

Westlessness and multipolar Trump era geopolitics and how we could be better off without bowing to them anyway.
Post aid funding and finance for the developing world – and the opportunity for non-state actors (including you and your business) to take centre stage and bet on ourselves as the “weird” West exits.
Zero-sum games and how changing the rules can turn win-lose situations into win-win interactions.
Uninsurability< and how “risk on” green swans also means growth on for the brave.
Purple soft power up for grabs for global cultural dominance as parallel play to big men's hard power games.
Worldbuilding as an opportunity for brands and creators to recapture value from platform monorails by leaning into empathy and community.
