Understanding Polycrisis
We live in an era of polycrisis - a time when multiple, interconnected global disruptions are happening simultaneously, amplifying uncertainty and volatility. Unlike isolated challenges, polycrises feed into each other creating systemic disruptions, making it harder for businesses, governments, and individuals to navigate risk.
Some of the key forces at play include:
- Economic Instability - Global trade shifts, fluctuating interest rates, and supply chain disruptions are reshaping financial landscapes.
- Geopolitical Shifts - Leadership changes globally and regionally, are bringing uncertainty to policies and regulations.
- AI Disruptions - Rapid advancements in artificial intelligence are transforming industries overnight, sometimes leading to false promises and economic shocks.
- Climate Change & Natural Disasters - Whether you debate the causes or not, the impact is real. Rising sea levels, wildfires, and extreme weather events are reshaping communities and economies all over the world.
- Insurance & Risk Shifts - With increasing global catastrophes, insurers are pulling out of high-risk areas and adjusting their terms, leaving businesses and homeowners scrambling for solutions to protect their assets.
What Does This Mean for You?
Polycrises make it harder to predict risks, which is why risk management is no longer optional, but essential. The ability to anticipate, adapt, and secure protection is what will separate resilient businesses from those that struggle to survive.
So, how do you prepare?
- Take both a macro and micro view of risk to understand global trends and how they could impact your local business.
- Invest in Business Continuity Planning to keep your operations running despite disruptions.
- Review your insurance policies to determine if you would actually be covered when you need it most.
