Free webinar, Tuesday 30 September 2025, 12.30pm BST.

Strategic insight for boards and executives navigating disruption, uncertainty and the pressure to transform.

Boards and senior executives are under pressure from a convergence of challenges, reshaping corporate strategy in 2025. Geopolitical instability, the threat of new tariffs and ongoing economic uncertainty are colliding with rapid advances in AI, rising expectations around sustainability, and the disruption of long-standing business models.

At the same time, global trade dynamics and stakeholder demands are forcing organisations to rethink how they plan, invest and transform for the future.

This webinar, from Board Agenda in partnership with Forvis Mazars, will bring together senior directors and governance leaders to explore how boards and executive teams are responding to these pressures. The discussion will provide a timely assessment of the current business landscape and what it means for corporate strategy, growth and resilience.

Drawing on recent research, including The C-suite Barometer 2025, and the practical perspectives of board members from leading firms, the conversation will examine where priorities are shifting—and what effective responses look like in practice.

Key themes for discussion

• Boardroom pressures and executive priorities: What are the most urgent issues facing boards and CEOs, and how are they being addressed?
• Economic volatility, tariffs and geopolitical disruption: How instability and trade friction are shaping strategy and growth plans.
• AI, digital transformation and business model disruption: What organisations must consider as technology reshapes operations, risk and future competitiveness.
