QHO-536 Global Challenges

“Global megatrends are macroeconomic and geostrategic forces that are shaping our world, and our collective futures in profound ways. The implications of these forces are broad and varied, and they will present us with both tremendous opportunities to seize—as well as extremely dangerous risks to mitigate” (PricewaterhouseCoopers 2016). This is probably even more pertinent now, than it was in 2016 and across this module we have built a large range of knowledge on what these megatrends are and how they impact upon organisations.  You will now bring this knowledge to a culmination in an essay based on the megatrend area(s) that most resonated with you.
