Virtual Programming: Pippa Malmgren identifies the risks that others find hard to quantify - advising companies, policymakers and investors on the subtle shifts which point to bigger trends

As a strategist to governments, businesses, and banks, Dr. PIPPA MALMGREN paints a picture of the horizon- something we all need in these disruptive times. During Covid she participated in the Happiness Festival, sponsored by Google, and spoke about the developing "conscious economy," in which consumers are more conscious of how they spend their time and where they find value. She speaks everywhere from companies like American Express to the British Army, and she has delivered the commencement addresses at the London School of Economics twice.

Her latest book, The Leadership Lab, won Best Leadership Book 2019 by Business Book Awards, was a Financial Times book of the month upon release, called "a blockbuster" by Bloomberg, and is driving conversations about leadership into the 21st Century. She’s also working on a book about emerging societal shifts resulting from an increasing digital world, influenced by her work as a founder of a robotics and drone company, helping to create digitization tools for many industries including mining, oil and gas, construction, agribusiness and public safety- all of which need to manage their remote assets from a smartphone. 

Dr. Malmgren is a fantastic choice for any organization looking for guidance on the future, and her actionable, accessible takeaways are based in the art and science of economics and trend forecasting.
