Insightful. Thoughtful. Accessible.
Chris invites audiences to quest together in making sense of this new world.
In a world quickly spinning out of control,
Chris is a point of balance and clarity.
Chris rips up the outdated mental maps that have served us so poorly in recent years—maps that led us to think that Brexit was impossible, that Trump was unelectable, that globalization was irreversible, that China’s democratization was inevitable, that facts were incontrovertible.
Chris draws a fresh map—one that describes the new world we’re in now—so that you, your organization, your profession or industry or country, can captain humanity’s voyage to a second Renaissance.
Chris Kutarna is the lead-off presenter for one of the three flagship Executive Education programmes at Oxford Saïd Business School—the Oxford Strategic Leadership Programme.
In his best-selling debut book, Age of Discovery (with Ian Goldin), he drew upon Renaissance wisdom to predict both Brexit and Trump. Now, Chris helps audiences everywhere to take a deep breath, take a step back, and make sense of the time we live in.
The world always makes sense. But it doesn’t always make sense to us.
Shock, confusion, disruption: these emotions, which we experience almost daily in every field and industry, are personal proof that whatever map we’ve been navigating by no longer shows the world as it really is.
