The Fragmentation of Global Systems with Cat Barnard

Welcome to the latest episode of the Informing Choices
Mini-Pod, and the third in our series looking at the critical trends impacting the future of work, in partnership with Working the Future [https://www.workingthefuture.com].

Today we are venturing into the complex world of Globalisation and Geopolitics - The Fragmentation of Global Systems, one of 10 meta-trends identified in Working the Future’s Foresight Focus 2024 report [https://workingthefuture.com/foresight-focus-report] on which this series of podcast episodes are based.

First off, we will break down what we really mean by the
Fragmentation of Global Systems. Next, we are identifying the three big drivers powering this trend, then look to the future by exploring what world could look like by 2030, and also consider optimistic scenarios where
fragmentation leads to innovation and resilience, and the pessimistic ones where it might lead to conflict and isolation. Finally, we will wrap up with some ideas organisations can take today to navigate these choppy waters.

With me in this episode is Working the Future co-founder Cat Barnard. You can learn more about Cat and Working the Future’s work as follows:
