The Trump Agenda and What It Means for Your Organization

Major policy shifts are reshaping the economic landscape, with significant changes in trade, regulatory policies, tax cuts, and more. Jason Furman, a prominent economist and former chair of the Council of Economic Advisers under the Obama Administration, offers a balanced perspective on these developments. He will provide expert insights into the Trump administration’s economic policies, including fiscal policy, regulatory changes, and trade relations. Furman will assess the potential economic direction under another Trump administration, focusing on areas like the federal budget, labor markets, and the challenges of sustaining growth amid concerns over deficits and public debt. He will also analyze the impact of trade policies on global supply chains, tariffs, and relations with key economic partners like China. Drawing from his background in economic policy, Furman will discuss the balance between stimulating growth and maintaining fiscal responsibility for long-term stability. Additionally, he will offer insights into key debates on healthcare, technology, and infrastructure, advocating for pragmatic solutions that promote both economic efficiency and equity. 

This conversation can be tailored to meet the specific interests of your organization. Furman will emphasize the importance of thoughtful, evidence-based policymaking to ensure that economic growth benefits all segments of society, particularly middle- and lower-income groups.

In order to fulfill that promise, he argues, companies must identify and share best practices and government must put the right policies in place. Furman can not only discuss the technologies that could transform the workforce, he can also provide transparency about the various data points behind the AI reality.
