The decisions that matter most deserve more than conventional wisdom
The most underrated skill in the world today is the ability to ask good questions. This is what truly separates average leaders from great ones.
Combining systems thinking, first principles analysis and data, Murati trains leaders in how to ask better questions about the future of technology, world affairs, business growth and nation building, thus empowering them to make smarter business, investing and policy making decisions.
As founder of Pareto Economics and the creator of the Global Power Index, he takes geoeconomic analysis to another level. His work combines data, geopolitics, economics, technology, demographics, and capital flows to reveal the deeper forces reshaping the global economy and what these changes mean for markets, investments, and sustainable policy.
He has coined the term "geo-risk" to describe the multifactor trends impacting our world and has pioneered the study of "segmented polarity" and the impact it is having globally. As a result, his insights have informed the decisions of policy makers, capital allocators and corporate leaders the world over on growth, risk, competitiveness, and long-term strategy.
Every keynote is customised using data from his Global Power Index, covering any of the 194 countries measured, enabling Murati to deliver highly relevant, data-backed insights tailored to the specific countries, sectors, markets, and strategic priorities of each audience.
His stage presence is unforgettable and he is known for merging data science, original thinking, storytelling and practical takeaways that help leaders make better decisions in an increasingly uncertain world.

A truly impactful session and a powerful voice for our times. His keynote on rewiring global industries in the age of AI and geopolitics was powerful and thought-provoking.
Provocative and optimistic, inspiring to take action. It was tailored for Lithuanian attendees and presented analysis on our position according to the Global Power Index.
Klisman delivered a brilliant keynote on the changing world order and shifting centers of power. He masterfully explained how AI, robotics, and protectionism are reshaping global balances, while perfectly tailoring his insights to our audience, especially the Finland-Russia comparison. Engaging, inspiring, and highly relevant, he gave us clear strategic clarity we could immediately use.
He took real positions on issues many others tend to gloss over. Klisman has an in-depth and multi-faceted understanding of ESG drivers. Would definitely recommend.
I find myself fascinated by his insights. Klisman has the ability to connect seemingly unconnected dots to come up with ideas, answers, and thought pieces relating to geopolitics, technology, the environment, and others. On top of this, he’s a really nice person!
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.
Klisman has strengthened Stena Bulk’s coordination by aligning the team, enhancing foresight, and preparing for future challenges, ensuring agility and resilience in decision-making.
