2020 shook up almost everything in our world. COVID-19 has taken millions of lives — and has highlighted deep inequalities and structural challenges in societies around the world.

Now, as we resume this podcast, we'll give you a current state of the world — the good, bad, and ugly of our progress controlling the virus after a year and how we can manage it more effectively. We'll think globally in order to be protected locally.

One thing is clear, there will be no return to the "pre-COVID" world. Will we be able to turn this massive disruption into transformation, opportunities, and a new reality?

Host Paul Laudicina will talk to the world's leading experts in health care, science, public policy, and business to reimagine where the future might take us.

A World Transformed: Reimagining the Future is produced by the Global Business Policy Council at Kearney, a think tank deciphering today's biggest changes and their effects on global business. Learn more at kearney.com/gbpc.
