2024 Outlook Series

The rapid-fire adoption of artificial intelligence. An urgent drive for clean energy. Shakeups in cryptocurrency. Pushback on ESG. The increasingly precarious environment for Big Tech and other digital platforms. Labor shortages, nagging inflation, new regulations… and what about that ever-looming recession?

These issues dominated headlines in 2023, with several featured in the crypto- and ESG-themed issues of BRG’s ThinkSet magazine. But they will also present new challenges and opportunities for business leaders in 2024.

That’s why we’ve collected insights from experts across BRG on what may be in store for the year ahead in several key industries. In this issue, you’ll find pieces from:

• Economics and damages experts Frank Dery and Urmi Mukherjea on how new regulations and court rulings could shape M&A transactions, digital asset platforms, and AI.

• Healthcare experts Kristen Geissler, John Barkett, Wendy Cheng, and James McHugh on the renewed regulatory focus on DEI in healthcare and life sciences, the myriad uses of generative AI and automation, and more.

• Energy expert Kenneth Ditzel on how the 2024 election could impact the clean energy transition, plus insights on the coming hydrogen investment boom.

• Corporate finance leader Mark Weinsten on the difficulties of projecting demand, the need to reevaluate expense structures, and labor market challenges in the year ahead.

We hope you find these perspectives useful as you gear up for an exciting 2024.
