A new joint initiative to help boards make better decisions in an unstable world.

Boards are increasingly confronted with political and regulatory risk that shapes markets, regulation, supply chains, access to capital, talent and markets. The daily news cycle obscures more than it reveal. Headlines move quickly, and individual events fade, but the structural forces behind them continue to reshape operating conditions.

Acuti Associates and the Centre for Britain and Europe have launched a joint initiative to help boards and senior leadership teams address political and regulatory risk as a core commercial issue, not a background concern. The collaboration brings together top-flight academic insight with senior-level experience in communication, geopolitics, and government affairs.

It combines boardroom-level understanding of commercial decision-making with forensic analysis of a rapidly changing geopolitical landscape, offering leaders both perspective and practical judgement.

Acuti Partner, Tim Hames’ book, “Trump II: Why He Won, What it Means for the World,” offers a compelling exploration of the factors that contributed to Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 presidential election. It offers expert analysis into the implications for the rest of the world.
