The Virtual Water Cooler Conversations

 

 

Topic: “The Future of Global Trade – Impact on our Ecosystems”

Thursday, May 15th, 2025 at 10:00 am to 11:30 am Pacific time. 


We hope you will join us at the STS Roundtable’s May 2025 Virtual Water Cooler.  You may recall that in January, we created a list of important topics that we agreed to deliberate on this year.  In February, we talked about the future of DEI in the US and around the world.  In March, we chose to discuss sustainability and the challenges it presents for us.  In April, we deliberated about knowledge work and whether it is on the decline.  

 

This month, let’s talk about the future of global trade, another topic we identified as critical to the world in which we live and work today.  Let’s get together and share our thoughts and ideas with one another.  Some starting questions might include these:

 

Can we predict the future of global trade given today’s political realities?  What might be different, and what can we do about it?
What is the impact of the Trump Administration policies on trade, particularly in light of tariff policies, on the US and its long-time trading partners?
What can and should nations around the world do to address the challenges posed by US actions?
Are we seeing any potential for growing the circle of world-wide collaboration?  Or will we be pushed into the old paradigm of competitive dominance?
How do we design work and organizations in the face of the threats to global trade we are seeing now?
What experience and expertise as organizational designers do we bring to the table that can make a difference?

 

Join us and our colleagues at the Virtual Water Cooler to deliberate on the future of global trade. We’ll meet on 15 May 2025 at 10:00am (pacific time) for this deliberation facilitated by Pam Posey and Pete Sorenson. 

Best wishes,
Pam Posey and Pete Sorenson (on behalf of the STS Roundtable)
