Description

The world is going to see more economic change in the next 5 years than we have seen in the last 100 years. AI adoption, humanoid robots, US-China tariff fights, war in the Ukraine & ME, interest rate volatility are all examples of the speed of change.  

But how did we get here? More importantly, where do we go from here?

Andy provides the context needed to understand the forces at work creating momentum for change in the economy and your business. Agentic AI, executive orders, tariffs and drones are just a few of the extraordinary tools/spending being leveraged right now. Are you aligning yourself for what will occur? Andy literally wrote the book on large, catastrophic events and how they impact our markets, economy and world. 

As a futurist and economist, Andy dives deep into exploring how innovation, policy changes and societal shifts (war/elections) drive opportunities for clients. He provides context by doing a “where we’ve been, where we are and where we’re going” for the economy. He takes the trends super charged by infectious diseases, climate, war and political uncertainty then applies them to your industry to unlock growth opportunities with actionable strategies to achieve them.
