Joshua Cooper Ramo Speaking Topics

  • Cultivating The Seventh Sense: An Essential Instinct For Success In An Age Of Networks

    We are living in an era of transformation. Not since the fall of the Roman Empire, the Industrial Revolution, and the Enlightenment have so many institutions been in danger of toppling. But what are the roots of this change and who are the ones getting ahead of it?

    Welcome to the Age of Networks.

    In his speech Cultivating the Seventh Sense: An Essential Instinct for Success in an Age of Networks, Joshua Cooper Ramo finds the answer: when things are networked, they are fundamentally changed. From ISIS to the 2016 Election, Facebook to Airbnb to A.I., and the rise of China to fall of the middle class, Ramo draws a line connecting these seemingly disparate shifts and shows how their connection is changing the world. Those who see and understand these networks are thriving — an opportunity that is as terrifying as it is exciting — but with The Seventh Sense, you will be thinking at the speed of technology.

  • Inside China: Lessons From A Decade Of High Intensity Encounters

    As Vice Chairman and Co-CEO of Kissinger Associates, Joshua Cooper Ramo has been witnessing firsthand the remarkable rise of a superpower for over a decade. What does the epic China growth story, in all its great complexity, mean for you, your country, your organization? What are the challenges, risks, and opportunities? From the countryside to the boardrooms and the leadership in Beijing, Ramo presents an in-depth look at what is really going on in China — politically, economically, militarily, culturally — and how to deal with it.
