As global volatility accelerates, retail asset protection teams must be prepared to think holistically, act quickly, and advise confidently. This session immerses attendees in two high-impact scenarios—one rooted in a recent global event and one projecting a plausible future threat. Guided by leaders with deep enterprise risk expertise, participants will examine how global developments can disrupt retail operations, influence consumer behavior, and challenge brand protection efforts. The session emphasizes how AP/LP professionals can build global situational awareness, strengthen cross-functional communication, and develop proactive strategies that safeguard people, product, and reputation. Designed for all experience levels, this session equips attendees with a forward-looking lens and practical tools for navigating an unpredictable world.
