EY’s NextWave strategy accounts for the dramatic and fast-paced changes that the world is undergoing, including rapid advances in technology, new client needs, macroeconomic and geopolitical shifts, and people’s new expectations of the future of work. These changes create exciting opportunities, but new opportunities also bring new risks. At the same time, increasing regulatory and compliance obligations add pressure on the firm and our client handlers.
