Meetings
To spark connections, focus energy and respond nimbly to emerging opportunities, we are operating in a number of “meeting” modes, from developing invitational field-building sessions and smaller group “dinner and a day” exploratory convenings. We are also managing a radar screen of opportunities to inform and influence, via leveraging existing events or playing targeted advisory roles as requested.

Exploratory. Dinner and a Day. Smaller group – 15 to 80 The Forum has been honing a “dinner and a day” meeting format that encourages relationship-building and reflection (the “dinner”) as well as structured facilitation to grapple with ideas and challenges that have an immediacy to participants work (the “day”). Over the past few months, we have used this format to explore implications of “the science” with:
