Upcoming Friday Fireside Chats

I’m hosting a series of fireside chats with people who have insightful ideas and actionable suggestions about how we navigate this unprecedented crisis.  Do join us!

About me:  I’m a faculty member at Columbia Business School.  My work is at the intersection of strategy and innovation, and I’m honored to be in the top ten of the Thinkers50 global management ranking.  My most recent book is Seeing Around Corners:  How To Spot Inflection Points in Business Before They Happen.  I work with companies to help them create a point of view about the future and think more strategically.  For details, visit RitaMcGrath.com

You can find a playlist with links to past Friday Fireside chats here.
