Show Notes

Olaf Groth is a Professor of Global Strategy, Innovation, and Economics at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business and the founder of Cambrian Futures. In this episode, we dive into the evolving landscape of AI and its impact on global strategy, economic power, and geopolitical competition. Professor Groth unpacks the shift from globalization 1.0 to a fragmented world of competing economic blocs and explores how emerging technologies—AI, digital infrastructure, and supply chain intelligence—are reshaping industries and national policies. We also discuss his FLIP IT framework for navigating uncertainty, the role of design activist leaders, and how students can prepare for a rapidly changing global economy.
