The good news is that boards are waking up to geopolitical risk faster than at any point in recent memory. The EY-Parthenon Geostrategy in Practice survey found that the proportion of boards taking regular action across geostrategy areas nearly tripled between 2021 and 2025, rising from 26% to 76%. That is a remarkable acceleration. But most of this activity is focused on assessing the impact of political risk on existing strategy (84% of boards) and receiving political risk briefings from management (82%).
