On 9 December Dasha Krivonos, CEO & Futurist, Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies, joined Andreas Wenzel for a coffee and shared her insights.
Structural change is accelerating across industries as technology, AI, and sustainability redefine what it takes to stay competitive. Organisations are navigating fast-moving geopolitical dynamics, shorter innovation cycles, and demographic shifts that challenge established business models. At the same time, these forces are creating new avenues for strategic positioning — from leveraging advanced technologies to elevating sustainability as a core driver of value. As leaders adapt to this evolving agenda, future-oriented thinking and resilient capabilities are becoming essential foundations for long-term performance and growth.
The Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies is one of Europe’s leading strategy and foresight institutions, supporting both companies and public organisations in navigating long-term trends and making robust decisions in an increasingly complex environment. The Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies plays a central role in shaping discussions on key megatrends, including geopolitical fragmentation, cognitive automation, and demographic transformation.
The topics for the 30-minute talk were:
- Navigating structural change
- Technology, AI, and the evolving leadership agenda
- Sustainability as a strategic breakpoint
