Supply Chain Realignment: Companies are diversifying away from overdependence on one country , India, Southeast Asia, and Mexico are emerging as strategic alternatives.
Investment Shifts: Global capital flows are increasingly influenced by geopolitical risk, not just financial returns.
What leaders should do:
Reassess exposure to high-risk regions, Diversify supply chains to enhance resilience, Factor geopolitical insights into strategic planning,Balance cost efficiency with long-term security
