In today’s world of economic volatility, rapid technological disruption, and global transformation, uncertainty has become the new normal for organisations. For leaders, the challenge is no longer simply responding to change—it is leading through it.

How can organisations stay focused when the future is unclear? How can leaders build resilient teams and make confident decisions amid constant change? Join us for an exclusive master class to explore practical leadership strategies for navigating uncertainty in today’s business landscape.

Meet the Speaker: Professor Nick Black

Professor Nick Black has been part of the AMBS team delivering sessions on the Global MBA for over a decade. His research focuses on financialization, the cultural economy, and people management in contexts of uncertainty. His work examines how organisations and managers respond to economic, social, and institutional uncertainty, with a particular emphasis on developing effective people management strategies in complex and changing environments.
