Businesses operate in diverse and globally connected environments. Success often depends on thoughtful leaders who are well-informed of the socio-economic, cultural and ideological differences that exist around them.

Increasing your company’s global intellectual and social capital contributes to your overall competitive advantage.

The World Affairs Council offers many opportunities for businesses to achieve these competencies. Here’s a sampling of what you can gain by engaging with the WAC:
