🔹 Vision Stage

This stage is called Vision because it looks far beyond the present – toward the kind of world we want to live in, work in, and shape for the future.

How do geopolitical shifts and the global security landscape affect the way we live and lead? How can leaders build strategies that withstand uncertainty and change? This stage also explores the role of hope – and why it lies at the heart of future thinking.

How can we preserve peace of mind in a world where algorithms and cyber threats influence more and more of our decisions?
