    Jeffrey Silber, Bill Achtmeyer, William Bennett, Gregory Cappelli, Ronald Daniels, Nikhil Sinha, Jeff Silber, Bill Bennett, Ron Daniels, Bhagwan Chaudhary, James Starr, Gary Weisserman, Ray Jacobson, Devian

    Moderated by Jeff Silber of BMO Capital Markets, a panel including Bill Ackmeyer, Bill Bennett, Greg Capelli, Ron Daniels, and Nikhil Sinha examined the viability of traditional universities amid 24% growth in online enrollments and the rise of micro-credentials. Experts predicted that while elite research institutions will survive by leveraging prestige and innovation, small colleges with low endowments face extinction as market consolidation accelerates and Fortune 500 leaders increasingly define skills standards. The discussion highlighted that future higher education must differentiate itself through pricing disruption, personalized learning technologies, and hybrid models that balance technical instruction with essential soft skills.

    Are You Investing in the Workforce of Tomorrow or the Workforce of Yesterday?

    Gregory Cappelli, Jared Bernstein, David Burstein, Edith Cooper, John Donovan, Seth Harris, Greg Capelli, John Aucott, Jr., Mike Milkinson, Serena Ross

    Moderated by Greg Capelli, a diverse panel of experts from the U.S. Department of Labor, AT&T, and Goldman Sachs debates whether a genuine skills gap exists or if the issue stems from poor employer preparation and outdated hiring models. Participants cite AT&T's successful reskilling initiative and Goldman Sachs' cultural pivot as evidence that defining roles by competency rather than job title can drastically improve retention and adaptability among millennial workers. Despite these corporate successes, the discussion concludes that systemic challenges like the gig economy's shift of training costs to individuals and automation threats to low-skill sectors require new policy frameworks and a fundamental rethinking of benefit structures.

    Gregory Cappelli, Kris Engskov, Sonia Gardner, Jody Greenstone Miller, Toby Peyton-Jones, Richard Ditizio, Charles Lubar, Sunil Krishnan, Mike Milken

    This summit addressed the global transition from traditional employment to a fluid, skills-based economy where millions in Southeast Asia join the middle class and U.S. workers increasingly navigate multiple careers. Leading organizations like Siemens and Starbucks implemented strategic reforms, including rapid curriculum updates and tuition funding, to bridge the widening skills gap while redefining retention through value alignment and flexible "learning and earning" models. Panelists concluded that outdated regulatory frameworks and rigid corporate structures must evolve to support a diverse, freelance-heavy workforce, emphasizing that cultural purpose now supersedes financial compensation in attracting top talent.

    MI Summit 2013 - London: U.S. Overview: Gathering Steam? (updated)

    Gregory Cappelli, Ross DeVol, Harold Ford Jr., J. Todd Morley, Eric Spiegel, Philippa Thomas

    Facing a potential partial government shutdown and debt ceiling breach by mid-October, U.S. political leaders like Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell are navigating intense intra-party gridlock driven by primary threats. Concurrently, the economy hovers near 2% growth sustained by Federal Reserve stimulus, though experts warn of a structural skills gap, a housing mini-bubble, and an over-reliance on monetary policy that masks underlying weaknesses. Panelists advocate for urgent structural reforms including corporate tax cuts and immigration changes to resolve regulatory stagnation and stimulate genuine long-term innovation.

    MI Summit 2013 - London: U.S. Overview: Gathering Steam?

    Gregory Cappelli, Ross DeVol, Harold Ford Jr., J. Todd Morley, Eric Spiegel, Philippa Thomas

    The panel analyzed a precarious October 1 government shutdown and impending debt ceiling crisis driven by ideological gridlock between Speaker John Cornyn and the Tea Party faction against the White House. While macroeconomic indicators show resilience with GDP growth near 2% and recovering manufacturing, the economy faces severe headwinds including a skills gap affecting 3.5 million jobs, regulatory uncertainty from healthcare legislation, and stalled corporate investment due to political paralysis. Experts concluded that breaking the current economic logjam requires urgent structural reforms, specifically corporate tax reduction and energy pipeline approvals, as the lack of political compromise threatens to derail both fiscal stability and long-term U.S. competitiveness.
