Architecting the Future: Turning Systemic Risks into Shared Opportunities

07 Apr 2026 06.30 PM - 09.00 PM Industry/Academic Partners, Public

The world is entering a period of profound transition. Climate change, geopolitical tensions and rapid advances in AI are reshaping markets and institutions in ways that no organisation can navigate alone.

In this lecture, Professor Charlene Zietsma explores how forward-looking leaders are responding to these complex challenges. Rather than acting in isolation, they are building cross-sector collaborations that bring businesses, regulators and stakeholders together to tackle problems that cut across industries and societies.

Drawing on real-world examples, the session will examine how organisations can move beyond short-term thinking to build partnerships that turn systemic risks into shared opportunities.

Join us for a conversation on how leaders can help shape more resilient and collaborative futures.
