  • Politics: We continue with the recommendation "No politics in the workplace." The campaigns may reinforce divisiveness and possibly introduce more aggressive AI based media attack ads. 


  • Economics: Most economic indicators are heading in the right direction. The growth in consumer debt is an element to monitor and sources of refinancing should be investigated beforehand.

 

  • Geopolitical: Ukraine and Middle East will continue to be areas of global concern. Russia, China, Iran and North Korea will continue to be as disruptive as possible both tactically and strategically.

 

  • Domestic issues: Forget the nuances of politicking, immigration, climate and now healthcare are strategic issues that are real and demand the focused attention of leadership public and private. Now!
