About Professor Klisman Murati
The Global Power Index is the most advanced proprietary model of country development ever built, spanning 194 countries and 30 years of longitudinal data. It is the analyst that governments, institutions, investors, and corporates call when they need their hardest questions answered honestly. Prof Klisman Murati has published over 250 articles and addressed audiences from more than 120 countries. The GPI forecasted Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Germany’s 2024 recession, and the structural drivers of the US-Israel-Iran conflict before consensus arrived. More importantly, it maps the trajectory of entire regions ahead of the market, giving decision-makers asymmetric insight they can act on.
Klisman’s multidisciplinary foundation, spanning anthropology, political economy, energy policy, security studies, and financial crime at leading institutions in London and Geneva, lets him see the cross-domain patterns that single-discipline experts systematically miss. As Visiting Professor at the Helsinki Geoeconomics Institute, he sits at the intersection of frontier academic research and live institutional practice. The result is keynotes that connect dots others cannot see and reshape how organisations think about global risk and opportunity.

Leadership and Decision Making in an Era of Geoeconomic Uncertainty
Confidence in a predictable world order is fading fast, markets believe what they see instead of believing rhetoric. This has lead to a crisis in leadership and resilience in many organisations as they try to reskill in an era of unpredictable global volatility. But how can you prepare for a future you can’t predict? This is the exact question Murati answers in one of his most transformative keynotes he delivers. Expect unique insights, uncomfortable truths and data lead transformations as a result of this keynote.
Impact: Increased confidence in your ability to understand, forecast and respond to geoeconomic changes in the world.
Beyond Emerging Markets: Rethinking Where Growth Actually Lives
The conventional frameworks used by investors, corporates, and policymakers to assess developing economies rely on income thresholds and credit ratings that obscure more than they reveal. Using the Global Power Index, Murati dismantles the emerging markets category and replaces it with a data-driven map of which economies are genuinely accumulating capability and which are being dangerously misread.
Impact: A paradigm shift in your understanding of emerging markets and the metrics you should be using to understand the developments in these countries.
The Rise of Geo-Risk: How AI, Technology, and Protectionism are shaping Global Power
We are living in an era of compounding geo-risk, where AI, technology, and protectionism no longer move in separate lanes but collide simultaneously, and any leader still analysing them in silos is studying symptoms while the real engine runs backstage. Drawing on the Global Power Index, which reads 194 countries across ten dimensions of power at once, Klisman Murati exposes where AI and protectionism are quietly redistributing global power, well ahead of consensus.
Impact: Leaders walk out able to reprice portfolios, supply chains, and country exposures against a unified geo-risk diagnostic, protecting capital before the market catches up.
Long-Term Thinking in a Short-Term World: Using Data to See Around Corners
Markets reward the quarter, politics rewards the cycle, and media rewards the headline, yet the decisions that will define the next decade are being made today on lagging indicators and confident-sounding noise. Klisman Murati dismantles the short-termism trap, showing leaders how to separate urgency from importance, interrogate the analysis landing on their desk, and build the structural discipline to read where the world is going rather than where it has just been.
Impact: Leaders walk out with the analytical discipline to compound advantage over a decade, while competitors keep optimising for the next quarter.
1. Klisman Interprets the Data, Not Opinions
Unlike speakers who rely on qualitative scenarios or narrow experience-based analysis, Murati’s proprietary Global Power Index provides objective, data-driven insights that audiences can immediately apply to investment decisions and strategic planning. Decision-makers gain sharper capital allocation, more precise country and market risk assessment, and early identification of emerging opportunities.
2. Klisman Uses Systems Thinking, Not Conventional Narratives
Drawing from his multidisciplinary expertise and first-principles approach, Murati equips executives to move beyond conventional geopolitical storylines and create competitive advantage through clearer, more original thinking. Audiences are challenged to question groupthink and uncover hidden opportunities and risks that others miss. They develop superior strategic foresight and build more robust, resilient strategies that consistently outperform consensus views in volatile markets.
3. Klisman Empowers Real Business Insights, Not Academic Theory
Audiences walk away with clear, immediately usable insights that directly improve business decisions, risk management and growth strategies, not abstract academic lectures with limited application. They gain a sharper understanding of how global power shifts affect their specific industry, markets and competitive position, allowing them to spot opportunities faster, mitigate risks more effectively and allocate resources with greater confidence.

"Looking at the complexities of today’s world, how power operates is key. I was therefore interested to see that this is also the starting point of Murati’s approach to understanding global issues, and it underpins its Global Power Index. I am glad to see him champion this more eclectic approach, looking at diverse sources of influence, and how they feed off each other."
