In an era where a single tweet can trigger a corporate crisis, where culture wars transform boardroom decisions into political battlegrounds, and where companies from Disney to Facebook find themselves navigating unprecedented public outrage—traditional crisis management playbooks are no longer enough. What was once an occasional PR challenge has become a critical leadership capability, as organizations increasingly find themselves caught in the crossfire of societal polarization.

Join Amcham Finland on March 3, from 8:30 to 11:00 AM for a keynote with author of the newly published The Age of Outrage: How to Lead in a Polarized World, business and public policy expert Karthik Ramanna, Professor at the University of Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Government. Drawing from case studies on organizations like IKEA or Nestlé, he will share his first-of-its-kind framework that helps leaders “turn down the temperature,” analyze root causes, and develop mission-consistent responses to public outrage. As a former Harvard Business School professor and expert on business-government affairs, Karthik is considered one of the foremost authorities on leadership in polarized environments.

This energizing keynote is designed for you to learn from global thought leaders while networking with your peers. By attending the event you will also receive a copy of the book. 

Join us for a Harvard experience in Helsinki.
