In last week’s episode, we began a conversation with John Ashford about the uncertainty that elections all over the world are going to have on business. John told us that what he’s seeing in 2024 reminds him more of what life looked like in the 1930s.

Hello everyone and welcome to episode 141 of the Resilient Journey podcast, presented by the Resilience Think Tank.

This is part two of a special conversation about business resilience during political uncertainty. We are joined once again by John Ashford, Chairman and CEO of The Hawthorn Group who tells Mark what he thinks the implications are of the November US election – including impacts on green energy, infrastructure, and supply chains.

John gives advice to businesses and reminds us that in chaos there is opportunity.

John explains that risk assessment and risk management will be more important in the next six to twelve months than ever.

They say that politics is something you should never discuss in polite conversation. But the truth of this episode is that business hates uncertainty and if we’re going to have a real view of risk and resilience in 2024, this is a conversation we must have.

Hello everyone and welcome to episode 140 of the Resilient Journey podcast, presented by the Resilience Think Tank.

This week we are joined by John Ashford, Chairman and CEO of The Hawthorn Group who says that there are three specific types of threats business face today: Shooting wars, non-shooting wars and the domestic crises making cities unsustainable for business.
