Addressing Business Resilience

Atlanta, GA | November 6-7, 2023

We’re often asked, “What’s next? What trouble might be rolling across the horizon that we need to prepare for?” The crystal balls don’t seem to be working and the speculators are churning-out wild scenarios as if they were 100% certain. What we do know is the age-old maxim remains true . . . Plan your work, or plan to fail.

Our gathering of leaders from multiple disciplines will raise the bar in understanding risk, scenario planning, and business resilience. We’ll hear from investment leaders, Fortune 500 executives, economists, and legal counsels on their approaches and warnings around this most critical of themes . . . business resilience.

We’re honored to be gathering at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta for this year’s Design Futures Council Leadership Summit on the Business of Design . . . Addresssing Business Resilience.

Looking forward to raising our collective intelligence and making a positive impact together.
