The Ocean Economy has moved from the periphery of Strategy Development into the core of how global systems function. It underpins trade flows, food systems, energy generation, and even digital connectivity through submarine infrastructure. Yet most leadership teams still treat it as an abstract sustainability concept rather than hard infrastructure. That misread is costly. The Ocean Economy is already valued in the trillions and growing faster than many traditional sectors, while remaining unde

Every time a new tariff headline hits, the same tired playbook comes out. Panic meeting. Quick price review. Knee-jerk supplier calls. A memo to “monitor developments.” This is not Strategy. This is playing whack-a-mole while the floor is shifting under you.
Tariffs today aren’t isolated events—they are part of an ongoing realignment of global trade. Retaliatory measures, targeted sector restrictions, and politically motivated policy swings have hardwired volatility into the system. This isn’t ab

COVID-19 is shaping a “New Normal”—a Low Touch Economy that requires a strategic response.
The world is changing. Forced isolation and social distancing restrictions have been put into place with the advent of the COVID-19 health crisis. This is not expected to end soon but is expected to have a lasting effect on the world. In fact, a new generation of consumer behaviors is already being shaped.
The new world will not be better off or worse. It will be different. During this period of influx, some
The Internal Institute of Auditors (IIA) and ISACA held their 2019 Governance, Risk, and Control Conference from August 12th to 14th in Fort Lauderdale. This year I was honored to be selected to speak on the effects of data privacy risks in the See-Through Economy in my presentation, “Prepare for a Data Governance Revolution with a Risk-Based Approach.”
Today the economy is strong and your business is doing well. But are you prepared for when this strength turns to weakness? Enterprise risk management has been proven to help companies survive a recession.
While there is much debate over whether a recession is looming or not, the fact is, you need to be prepared. Whether in 2019, 2020, or 2021, it’s not a question of “if,” it’s a question of “when” a recession will occur, as history has proven that fluctuations in the economy are both inevitable

Several central banks, including the Bank of England, the People’s Bank of China, the Bank of Canada and the Federal Reserve, are exploring the concept of issuing their own digital currencies, using the blockchain technology developed for Bitcoin. Skeptical commentators suspect that their primary goal is to eliminate cash, setting us up for negative interest rates (we pay the bank to hold our deposits rather than the reverse).

Saudi Arabia is in serious trouble. The Binladin Group, the kingdom’s largest construction company, has terminated the employment of fifty thousand foreign workers. They have been issued exit visas, which they have refused to honor. These workers will not leave without being paid back wages. Angry with their employer, some of the workers set fire to seven of the company’s buses.

Let’s Ditch the Economy of the 1% and Replace it with a Human Economy
Written by:
Winnie Byanyima
Executive Director, Oxfam International
If we want an economy of the 1%, then GDP is very useful. It tells us all we need to know. But if we want an economy that works for us all, we have to pay attention to what it is not telling us.
In the face of a growing inequality crisis, GDP tells us nothing about the distribution of growth. When just 62 people have the same wealth as half the world’s population,

Ecological and social science research increasingly demonstrate that ‘globalization’ is not what it seems. It does not produce more prosperity and reduce poverty for the world, but just the opposite. Ever more powerful transnational corporate money sequences multiply through organic, social and ecological life hosts looting and polluting them.

On the face of it, Trump is Reagan on steroids. His towering size, his nativist US supremacism, his down-home talk, and his reality-show confidence make him ideal for the role of bullying and big lies from the oval office.
He is America come to meet itself in larger-than-life image to rejuvenate it as its pride slips away in third-world conditions and a multi-polar world.

The just-released Oxfam Davos Report which the mass media have ignored arrestingly shows that 62 individuals – 388 in 2010 – now own more wealth than 50% of the world’s population. More shockingly, it reports from its uncontested public sources that this share of wealth by half of the world’s people has collapsed by over 40% in just the last five years.
