📚 Discussion Topics:

00:00 Session Introduction

00:34 Given your extensive experience in the Middle East and working with governments, how do you factor in political instability and shifting alliances when planning large-scale defense or infrastructure projects?

09:48 How have recent global tensions (e.g., US-China relations, sanctions on Russia) influenced your approach to risk identification and scenario planning at the portfolio level? Can you share a specific instance where this planning helped mitigate disruption?

14:35 Cybersecurity and digital sovereignty are now critical concerns. How do you ensure digital infrastructure and data resilience in project environments spanning multiple regulatory jurisdictions?

21:58 Many global organizations are trying to turn geopolitical risks into strategic advantages. From your perspective, what mindset or frameworks help leaders adopt this forward-looking posture?

28:06 In highly regulated environments like Saudi Arabia and Qatar, how do you balance regulatory compliance with the agility needed for effective project execution? Are there specific tools or practices that support this balance?

32:27 Supply chain disruptions are among the most immediate project risks. How do you assess and mitigate dependency on specific regions or vendors when planning at the portfolio level?

35:50 Leadership in volatile environments requires emotional intelligence and adaptability. Can you reflect on a leadership challenge during geopolitical tension where soft skills were as critical as technical ones?

43:45 From your practitioner lens, what lessons do you draw from successful case studies where geopolitical foresight ensured project continuity or strategic gain? Any standout success story you’d like to share?
