Your new global competition | Business Brief

Published on: 12th May, 2026

Your future competition may be coming not only from outside your category, but another part of the world. In this Business Brief, Jo examines the rapid rise of new international challengers redefining what “competitive” means. And why lessons on balancing speed, agility and experimentation with long term stability and a future vision can be best learnt right now from Asian brands.

Business Brief is a (very brief, just 5 mins) new solo series hosted by Looking Outside podcast host, foresight strategist Jo Lepore.
