Programme updated on 9.22.2016 www.chamonixgettogether.com THE 2016 GET-TOGETHER a summit of minds Chamonix - Mont-Blanc - France - September 23 -25 PROGRAMME Why the Get-Together? Op-eds, research publications and even newsletters such as The Monthly Barometer are useful, informative and at best insightful; but they can only go so far.... They often provoke the desire to ask a question, to challenge an assumption, but they can’t reply and they can't argue! Only personalized quality gatherings respond to this need. They are rare and therefore increasingly valued: in our ever-more digital and virtual world, the need for face-to-face interaction has never been greater. In the sometimes overwhelming complexity of our “hyper-connected”, fast-paced world, it is apparent that the answers to such questions as: “What to do?” “How to invest?” “Where and when?” “With whom?” “For which purpose?” are best sought out in unconventional places. Our Get-Together offers just such a place, affording its guests physical exposure to diverse individuals and ideas, based on the “strength of weak ties” and serendipitous encounters. How can you participate in the programme? Friendliness and informality define the gathering, which combines thinking and learning with mindfulness and discovery. The Get-Together amounts to an ideas fair. The programme is intentionally dense so that you have an abundance of choice and sessions remain small and intimate. To allow maximum interaction between our guests, all elements of the programme are structured as conversations. These are kicked off by an introduction to the issue provided by a prominent thinker or practitioner, but everybody is a speaker. We count on you to stir the pot! We follow the Chatham House rules: while conscious that today’s world is fully transparent, we ask you to remain discrete and not to disseminate the content of The Get-Together. This will guarantee that our conversations remain frank and direct. Provided it is not content or people related, you can of course be as enthusiastic as you wish on Twitter, Facebook and the like! Why do we go outside? First and foremost because outdoor activities are fun and a great way to spend time with old friends and make new ones. Furthermore, they will benefit the quality of the meeting - research in neuroscience and medicine makes it abundantly clear that exercise provides unparalleled stimulus, physiologically rendering our brains more ready, willing, and able to learn. Lastly, it would be a waste not to take advantage of the exceptional natural environment that Chamonix offers! Important caveats Only fully confirmed names are listed below. Outside activities are planned as indicated, but they may change depending on the weather. Main Partner Partners ORGANISERS Supporters

PROGRAMME Why the Get-Together? Op-eds, research publications and even newsletters such as The Monthly Barometer are useful, informative and at best insightful; but they can only go so far.... They often provoke the desire to ask a question, to challenge an assumption, but they can’t reply and they can't argue! Only personalized quality gatherings respond to this need. They are rare and therefore increasingly valued: in our ever-more digital and virtual world, the need for face-to-face interaction has never been greater. In the sometimes overwhelming complexity of our “hyper-connected”, fast-paced world, it is apparent that the answers to such questions as: “What to do?” “How to invest?” “Where and when?” “With whom?” “For which purpose?” are best sought out in unconventional places. Our Get-Together offers just such a place, affording its guests physical exposure to diverse individuals and ideas, based on the “strength of weak ties” and serendipitous encounters. How can you participate in the programme? Friendliness and informality define the gathering, which combines thinking and learning with mindfulness and discovery. The Get-Together amounts to an ideas fair. The programme is intentionally dense so that you have an abundance of choice and sessions remain small and intimate.

“Thinking the unthinkable”: A brainstorming opening

for The 2016 Get-Together. Room Michel Payot (Rotunda)

Decision-makers are overwhelmed by the speed and proliferation of “unthinkable” events. This is creating new vulnerabilities and challenges. In an ever more transparent e-information space, behaviour, culture and mind-sets are being tested to new stress levels. Nik Gowing, co-author of “Thinking the Unthinkable”, engages the guests of the Get-Together in a collective brainstorming. Please come with your ideas, hopes and concerns. What pressures are being created for you and your work by the new “unthinkables”?

17.35 – 18.15

Keynote address Majestic Congress Center

The power of gratitude Room Michel Payot (Main Stage)

Gratitude doesn’t always come easily, but is good for us all. Research suggests that practising gratitude and, better still, making it a “routine”, raises our happiness and brings out the best in those around us. This keynote begins with an expression of gratitude towards Nature’s beauty that can heal mind, body and soul by inspiring wonder and awe.

Dan Schechter, Managing Director, LEK CONSULTING – United States Louie Schwartzberg, Founder, MOVING ART – United States

18.15 – 18.45

Keynote address Majestic Congress Center

Making happier societies Room Michel Payot (Main Stage)

Governments around the world are increasingly aware that the happiness of their country is not measured by the wealth of their nation, but rather by the quality of life as their citizens experience it. In short: money is not the whole story. The “father” of happiness economics who has argued for years that happiness is a better measure of success than income and that governments do not do enough to ensure the happiness of their citizens shares with the participants of the Get-Together his ideas and policy suggestions of what it takes to make societies happier. Lord (Richard) Layard, Professor Emeritus, THE LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS AND POLITICAL SCIENCE – United Kingdom

19.30 – 21.30 Working dinners Top-level sporting performance – what investors and

decision-makers can learn from it Restaurant Le Cap Horn Private room

The mental, physical and logistical preparation needed to achieve sporting excellence and become number 1 is a gruelling affair. Like in all activities where it is the relative, not the absolute performance, that counts, this process harbours some important lessons for the investment and business community. Some of the best in their respective fields share their insights.

Optimism versus pessimism about tomorrow’s world Hotel Le Morgan

Restaurant Le Bistrot Optimism and pessimism are two cognitive biases that play a decisive role in how we perceive the world and how we make decisions. What are the arguments to sustain either optimism or pessimism about the future? What would it take to convince those in one camp to shift position?

David Tuckett, Psychoanalyst; Centre for the Study of Decision-Making Uncertainty, UCL – United Kingdom

Preparing our children for tomorrow’s world Hotel Les Aiglons Restaurant Le “A”

The world is changing fast and irrevocably, throwing up numerous uncertainties for the next generations. What can we do to enable them to grow into strong, resilient, creative, compassionate citizens of the world? As inequalities of opportunity grow, creating in the process a toxic mix of resentment and disenfranchisement, how can we give today’s children, regardless of their origins, a chance to make something of their lives?

Lord David Blunkett, House of Lords; Former Home Secretary – United Kingdom Atalanti Moquette, Founder and co-Chair, GIVING WOMEN – Switzerland Michele Petochi, Managing Director, EPFL – Switzerland Nicolas Sadirac, Executive Director, 42 – France

Moderated by: Linda Bentley, Operations Director; ICSPA – United Kingdom

The meaning of time Hotel du Mont-Blanc Restaurant Le Matafan

Time’s abstractness and the difficulty of grappling with the notion make it one of the last philosophical frontiers. This session focuses on how we experience time in an era when everything seems to be accelerating. What does it mean to feel in control of one’s time rather than being controlled by it? What is time well spent? Nicolas Fieulaine, Associate Professor in Social Psychology, LYON UNIVERSITY – France; Coordinator, INTERNATIONAL NETWORK ON TIME PERSPECTIVE Louie Schwartzberg, Founder, MOVING ART – United States

Moderated by: Julien Marchenoir, Strategy and Heritage Director; VACHERON CONSTANTIN – Switzerland

The Future of Europe Room Theodore Bourrit

The UK referendum took place at a time when European economic risks were receding while its political risks, particularly populism, were on the rise. Its consequences are unpredictable: the UK’s divorce from the EU will take years to play out. It might throw Europe and the EU into disarray, or do just the opposite by spurring further integration. Panellists in this session help participants understand what’s going on and what’s coming next – both for Europe as a whole and the individual countries that compose it.

Introduced by: Mark Florman, CEO, TIME PARTNERS – United Kingdom Philippe Legrain, Founder, OPEN; Senior Visiting Fellow, LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS’ EUROPEAN INSTITUTE – United Kingdom Manuel Muñiz, Director of the Program on Transatlantic Relations, HARVARD UNIVERSITY – United States Antonis Papagiannidis, Managing Editor, ECONOMIA PUBLISHING – Greece Dennis Snower, President, INSTITUTE FOR THE WORLD ECONOMY – Germany Moderated by: Thierry Malleret, Managing Partner, THE MONTHLY BAROMETER – France

Your brain; your gut; your future health… personalized Room Isabella Straton

Moderated by: Adam Kaufman, Advisor, PATHNORTH – United States

Promoting “Intrapreneurship” Room Edgard Bouillette Over 70% of private businesses will transition ownership in the next decade. Of this group of owners, 52% have no formal succession plan, 38% have an informal plan and only 10% have a formalized written succession ready for their business. In the rising generation, very few are interested in taking over while many want to start their own venture. This is where “intrapreneurship” kicks-in: the creation of new and innovative projects led by a member of the rising generation that leverages the financial, human and technical resources of an existing organization. Based on the experience of the Business Families Foundation, this session explores the merits of the idea and makes practical suggestions on how best to go about it.

Great ideas whose time has come Room Jules Janssen

Once in a while, a new idea expressed in the form of a policy suggestion, a project or an investment comes up and takes us by surprise with its brilliance or audacity, making us wonder why we hadn’t thought of it before or why it hadn’t emerged earlier. This session serves as a platform for such ideas.

Wellness and decision-making Room Jules Janssen More and more, prominent investors and business leaders recognize the critical effect that wellness (i.e. exercise, mindfulness, nutrition, sleep, meditation, etc.) has on their ability to make appropriate decisions in an increasingly complex, demanding and interdependent world. Strategy consultants have now jumped on the bandwagon, expressing a “burgeoning interest in wellness”. What do CEOs and investors do? What is the evidence that wellness enhances decision-making and does the science back this up?

The rise in populism – where is it going and when and

how will it end? Room Theodore Bourrit

In both democracies and autocracies the appeal of false prophets resisting change and pushing for populist measures is gaining traction. The global sirens of populism will most likely endure because of the multitude of economic, social and environmental issues that need fixing and that involve tough policy decisions. This will

Cyber-risks – how to mitigate them and how to invest

in the theme? Room Paul Payot

Cyber risks are ubiquitous and now affect almost every sphere of our existence: companies, institutions, governments and our personal space. At the moment, cyber-attackers seem to have the upper hand over cyber-defenders. What can be done to redress this worrying state of affairs? What are the solutions? Where and how to invest when everybody is leaping on the bandwagon? (Disclaimer: The Monthly Barometer is a shareholder of CEDL)

Broadening the definition of success: leaders who

focus on meaning and authenticity Room Isabella Straton

How do we find meaning, authenticity and perspective in a fast-paced, competitive, global marketplace so often at odds with a more human approach to leadership? Isolation is often an unintended consequence of success. Members of PathNorth will share personal experiences – both good and bad – encountered on their own path to success. They will address self-reflective topics such as: Who is in your audience? What is your biggest regret? When were you last afraid? And: What will your legacy be?

For those staying on in Chamonix, further outside activities with fellow participants will be organized on Sunday afternoon. As they are weather dependent, we will communicate their precise nature on Saturday 24th September. This post-programme period will extend into the evening and will be primarily driven by serendipity. Watch your app to stay up to speed.
