    Industry leaders from Landry's, Herbalife, and the US military convened to contrast their institutional approaches to leadership succession, workforce demographics, and decentralized decision-making authority. Executives highlighted how internal grooming, "up-or-out" talent filters, and the "Commander's Intent" doctrine effectively retain high-performing employees while navigating a shifting gig economy.

    Global Risk: Challenges for the Next President

    Michael Crowley, Wesley Clark, Bob Corker, Niall Ferguson, Jane Harman

    A panel of geopolitical experts warns that decaying NATO infrastructure, Russian nuclear escalation, and US fiscal irresponsibility have created a strategic vacuum filled by adversaries exploiting the Trump-Putin relationship and Chinese expansion. The discussion emphasizes the urgent need for lethal aid to Ukraine, a coherent counter-narrative against Iranian aggression in the Middle East, and immediate legal assertions of authority in the South China Sea to prevent miscalculation. Ultimately, the speakers argue that the next US president must prioritize a long-term strategic vision over short-term political games to restore Western unity and counter the rise of a multipolar world order.

While Graham confirmed his high probability of seeking the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, the panelists reached a consensus on the urgent need for robust military preparedness, the rejection of negotiation with terrorist entities, and a transition to American energy independence to counter authoritarian leverage.

    2014 London Summit - Risk

    Shaukat Aziz, Wesley Clark, Sir Richard Dearlove, Tina Fordham, Ronald Waldman, Philip Coggan

    Distinguished experts including General Wesley Clark and Shaukat Aziz convened to declare the current global era more unstable than the Cold War, driven by fractured P5 leadership, the rise of non-state actors, and severe health security gaps exposed by the Ebola outbreak. The panel analyzed how shifting geopolitical dynamics, such as Russia's strategic maneuvers and the fragmentation of the Middle East, have exacerbated risks ranging from terrorism to economic recession across Europe and beyond. Ultimately, the discourse concluded that while scientific and military solutions exist for these systemic threats, the absence of collective action and the resilience of populist movements leave the world uniquely vulnerable to future crises.
