Tom Standage

Deputy Editor, The Economist · Editor, The World Ahead

The forces shaping business are becoming more interconnected and harder to ignore. Geopolitics, financial risk, the climate transition, artificial intelligence and changing consumer behaviour are no longer separate trends. Together, they are reshaping markets, influencing investment decisions and changing how brands build trust, engage customers and stand out in crowded markets.

Join Tom Standage, deputy editor of The Economist, as he examines the five forces business leaders need to understand now. Drawing on global insights and analysis, he will explore how these trends interact, what they mean for organisations and where the greatest risks and opportunities lie.


Panel 1 · Client Conversation

Multipliers of Creativity

For decades, the industry pulled media, creativity, data and business strategy apart. What happens when they’re put back together?

This conversation makes the case that creativity is no longer a communications output but growth infrastructure — and that the brands organising around integrated operating models are turning that integration into genuine competitive advantage. The panel digs into the real business cost of fragmentation, creativity’s role in enterprise transformation, and how craft becomes commercial force.
