U.S. Overview: Post-Election America and the World
Ross DeVol, Tony Fratto, Adam Hitchcock, William Lee, Richard Socarides, Ross Duvall, Tony Frada
This panel analysis dissects the 2016 electoral realignment driven by disaffected rural voters in the Upper Midwest and examines the resulting shifts in demographic coalitions and global economic trends. Experts evaluate the new administration's policy priorities, including projected tax reforms, potential deregulation through enforcement discretion, and the strategic use of trade negotiations to reshape global commerce. Furthermore, the discussion highlights critical challenges to long-term growth stemming from workforce constraints, automation, and the potential erosion of Federal Reserve independence under a president who views the central bank as a negotiating chip.

London Summit 2015 - Bridging the Talent Divide: Demand-Driven Education for a Diverse Workforce (I)
Mark Cahill, Nancy Altobello, Meabh Quoirin, Richard Socarides, Tim Stewart, Aniela Unguresan
Leading global organizations and educational institutions are redefining workforce development by shifting from rigid academic credentials to experiential "liquid skills" and peer-to-peer learning models in response to automation and demographic shifts. Key figures from EY, GLG, and various universities emphasize a shared responsibility among governments, businesses, and individuals to implement apprenticeships, mandate non-linear career paths, and prioritize cognitive diversity over traditional pedigree. This collaborative evolution aims to close the skills gap by restructuring degree programs, normalizing diverse hiring practices, and fostering a culture where continuous reskilling and emotional intelligence serve as the primary drivers of employability.
