Download – STRATEGIC OUTLOOK 2018
Produced specifically to inform Dragonfly’s clients, and for the first time released to a wider audience, it provides a high-level review of security and crisis risks likely to impact multinational businesses and international organisations in the coming 12 months and beyond.
In 2018 and 2019, risks that once seemed improbable – if not unthinkable – will require serious consideration as credible and pressing matters. These include a destructive conflict on the Korean Peninsula, the use of nuclear and chemical weapons, the fracturing of NATO and the EU, cyber attacks that threaten national security and even conflict, as well as a constitutional crisis in the world’s leading democracy.
A more multipolar, competitive and adversarial world is taking shape. The potential for interstate conflict and crises that impact entire regions is rising to levels not seen in decades. Yet the capacity for leading states to cooperate and prevent crises is diminishing, as they themselves become more internally divided over how to tackle the economic, social and political challenges of the future.
Strategic Outlook 2018 provides dozens of forecasts on a range of positive and negative risk outcomes in geopolitics and security, including:
Strategic Outlook 2018 also provides a range of monitoring points to enable observers to anticipate changes in risk and re-calibrate forecasts when events defy prediction. And it flags outliers – outcomes that sit on the outer edges of probability but that are plausible and consequential enough to merit further thought for crisis planning. These include:
Strategic Outlook 2018 was produced by the analysts of Dragonfly’s Security Intelligence & Analysis Service (SIAS), which provides direct intelligence support to a rapidly growing number of corporate security and crisis management teams in leading global businesses across a broad array of sectors.
Key Quote from Henry Wilkinson
“The Strategic Outlook 2018 aims to help Dragonfly’s clients better understand transformation and change in the global risk environment, anticipate and plan for crises, and foresee improvements to gain an early commercial advantage. Forecasting is not an exact science but it is an essential process that starts conversations and the process of building resilience. Our assessments show that the need for global businesses to take board-level ownership of geopolitical risks and invest in intelligence that one can trust amid a growing tide of disinformation has never been more urgent or important.”
