  • AI regulation is becoming a strategic concern, influencing where and how businesses choose to innovate, invest, and grow

  • Geopolitical competition and differing regulations are reshaping global markets, challenging leaders to rethink talent, operations, and market access

  • Ethical and transparent AI adoption is key, requiring leaders to move past hype and focus on building trust and lasting value

As AI continues to reshape the global business landscape, regulation is emerging not merely as a compliance issue, but as a strategic concern. From data governance and energy demands to talent mobility and market access, the evolving policy environment around AI is influencing where and how organisations can innovate, invest, and compete. 

In this episode of our Think Ahead podcast, Michael Jacobides, Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship, is joined by Nnenna Ilomechina, currently CEO at Crownpeak, with over 25 years advising businesses through transformation with firms like AlixPartners and Accenture, for a lively conversation hosted by Professor of Economics and Dean of London Business School, Sergei Guriev. 

Together, they explore how geopolitical competition and fragmented regulatory regimes are redefining the role of business and business leaders in the age of AI.

Drawing on cutting-edge research and real-world leadership experience, they discuss the strategic decisions organisations must make to navigate this complexity, build trust, and unlock long-term value.

As the conversation turns to thinking ahead, they challenge leaders to move beyond the hype and focus on putting AI to work—ethically, transparently, and effectively.
