What the Next 3 Years of U.S. Policy Might Look Like

In this bonus episode, we're sharing a conversation from our 2026 CEO Retreat in Bangkok. The theme for the event was "What Next? Leadership Through Sustained Disequilibrium." In this excerpted recording, our guests Michael Beckley, David Ignatius, and Ed Luce discuss what the next 3 years of U.S. policy might look like. 

In this series, "Envisioning What's Next," we look not just at how we got here, but at what comes next — the green shoots pushing through the cracks. We'll consider the glimmers of hope that inspire, the breakthroughs ahead, and the choices we can make now to shape a brighter future.

Reimagining the Future: Envisioning What's Next is produced by the Global Business Policy Council at Kearney, a think tank that deciphers sweeping geopolitical, economic, social, and technological changes and their effects on the global business environment. Learn more at kearney.com/gbpc.
