Davos Obsession With ‘Polycrisis’ May Seem Remote, But Corporate Boards Should Take Notice

In response to the 2023 World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Michael Peregrine argues that “the emphasis on polycrisis calls on boards to not only look more broadly on global risks that might affect the company’s business, but also to look at them in a different way. The fundamental governance message of polycrisis is to examine global risks not necessarily as a series of individual crises, but rather for their potential to converge or intersect, with amplified impact.”
