Global Intelligence Desk
Amid a shifting global playing field, the Global Intelligence Desk delivers timely and incisive analysis through calls, briefs, and in-person gatherings to help businesses navigate risks and opportunities.
What is happening to the rules-based global order? Who are the emerging players in a less predictable marketplace? How should businesses navigate a world no longer bound by the certainties of the post-Cold War era?
These are the questions of our time. As a shifting global playing field creates new risks—and new opportunities—the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has launched the Global Intelligence Desk to provide timely and incisive analysis delivered through calls, briefs, and in-person gatherings.
The Call is a series of live video conversations featuring expert guests, including subject matter experts at the Chamber. Live, interactive access is a benefit to the Chamber’s members. Information on membership is available here. Replays of each episode are available the next day for wider viewing.
News and Insights
Coverage and analysis of critical geopolitical topics from Jay Sapsford, the Global Intelligence Desk’s Executive Editor and The Call host, as well as news and insights from our partners at RANE Network.
