Future of Corporate Risk
FORESIGHT RADAR
Attention in risk often goes to the extremes. The dramatic, low-probability catastrophe gets the tabletop exercise. The slow, obvious trend gets its line on the agenda. Both ends are well covered, because both are easy to see.
The middle is where things get missed. A signal gathering force that isn't frightening enough to fear yet, or established enough to plan around. It sits between the wild card and the sure thing, and it's usually where the next decade comes from. By the time it's obvious enough to make the register, the advantage of seeing it early is gone.
That middle is what this radar watches. It tracks 50+ phenomena across five domains – geopolitical, digital and AI, climate, workforce and financial – sorting each by where it sits in its life cycle: the distant wild card, the trend already reshaping the ground, and the weak signal worth watching now.

How to read the phenomena colours
The phenomenon is becoming more common or acute during the given timeframe. Most of its change potential is still ahead.
The phenomenon is becoming more unusual. During the given timeframe, most of its change potential or value has already occurred.
A possible but not probable event or change. The probability within the given timeframe is between 5% to 30%.
A small emerging issue in the present. At the given timeframe, it is still hard to say whether it will become a trend.
