Competenze

Karen Harris is the managing director of our Macro Trends Group (MTG).

Macro Trends Group is the capability group for developing our firm's insights about global macroeconomics, macro social trends, and geopolitics as they impact the results of our clients. The group’s proprietary research includes work on trends driving global growth in GDP and capital markets, as well as specific geographic analyses (including China, the United States, and the Eurozone), which it uses to help clients understand the potential impact of the volatile global environment on their businesses.

Addressing the need for satisfying, respected, remunerative work will be a critical task over the next decade as automation replaces work in not just manufacturing but in services, with attention required for the producer side – the work force – and not just the consumer side, or the distribution of spending power.
