In this episode of Be It Resolved, Rahul Bhardwaj, President and CEO of the Institute of Corporate Directors, sits down with Drew Fagan, professor at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, Fulbright visiting professor at Yale, and former senior government leader. Together, they explore why geopolitical fluency is no longer optional for corporate boards.

From shifting U.S.–Canada trade relations to the rise of China, and from national security concerns to AI’s role in global power structures, Fagan unpacks how directors can ask smarter questions, strengthen oversight, and adapt to a rapidly changing global order.
