And the latest S&P Global Market Intelligence Report stated that:

“Interconnected geopolitical challenges will continue to dominate the agenda in 2023”

Politician, diplomat and academic Rory Stewart will be addressing this at #RISK in his keynote presentation.

The Forrester report went on to say, “Trust will be at the forefront of 2023. Customers are increasingly weary of organisations playing fast and loose with their personal data. Regulators aren’t far behind, and crackdowns on privacy violations will become more common. And it won’t stop there — greenwashing, misinformation, and employee surveillance will be scrutinised, fuelled by fed-up consumers and employees.”
