DISCOVERY / THREE FORMATS

The right amount of time for the question.

A focused roundtable, a half-day forum or a full-day summit. Each format gives leaders a different opportunity to examine one issue together.

HOW WE MEET

Three event formats

Each event focuses on one track. Roundtables are moderated discussions. Forums and summits may also include panels and group work.

Half-Day Leadership Forum

Panel and table discussion

A moderated panel brings different views into focus. Working discussions give participants time to test those views against their own decisions.

Full-Day Leadership Summit

Full-day, one-track program

Panels and smaller groups examine one business question from several sides, with more time to compare ideas and practical choices.

Group size varies by event. Check the event brief for confirmed details.
HOW IT WORKS

What every format includes

Choose a format based on the question, who needs to take part and how much time the discussion needs.

01

The question comes first

Participants should understand the decision they will examine before they arrive.

02

The discussion stays independent

Sponsors are identified, but their involvement does not give them control over what participants say.

03

The experience continues

Useful reading, agreed follow-up and future relevant conversations can extend the exchange.
