Executive Summary
This report expands on data from the Verdantix Dislocation Index. It defines the six foundational factors that are causing increasing global volatility and provides detail on how those factors are interacting to cause dislocation in nine national economies. The report is designed to support senior leaders who want to understand how geo-economic friction, energy, policy, labour constraints, innovation and the increasing cost of production inputs are changing operating environments. Fractured Foundations is the first publication in a year-long series that will examine how firms can adapt their management structures, digital architecture and planning to prosper in a period of global instability.
