Exposing Your Future
Leadership to Wider Issues
Rather than providing highly focussed technical information or
training, our conferences address the broader political, economic, and
ethical concerns which the world will face in the years ahead. Giving
bright young employees the chance to grapple now with the ideas and
challenges of the future can be valuable in widening the horizons of
executives in mid-career and enhancing their strategic judgement.
Contacts
Trust Fellows meet speakers who mould current thinking on major topical
issues, and interact with other participants who will become
influential in future. Our alumni - now numbering over 800 from over 90
countries - range from cabinet ministers, members of parliament, senior
business executives, professors, and media figures, to charity
volunteers and workers on grass roots development projects. These
contacts will not be fleeting acquaintances who merely exchange
business cards, but genuine friends made over eight days of intensive
discussions and socializing in small groups.
Opportunity
to Present your Organization's Viewpoint on an Issue
Although participants attend in a personal capacity and not as
representives of a particular organization or institution, a Trust
conference gives an excellent chance to explain to future decision
makers and opinion leaders the a company's, government's or NGO's
perspective on an issue which might otherwise go by default, and
thereby to perform a public service.
New
Planning Techniques
Almost every Trust conference either has a simulation exercise or a scenario building element. These, in
particular the latter, are extremely useful tools in considering the
future challenges which your organization might face and in designing
strategies to cope with change. If your organization does not use such
techniques, exposing your employees to them will be of great immediate
value. Even if it already does use them, having an employee engage in
scenario building with people from a variety of professional and
geographic backgrounds is certain to create new, valuable avenues of
thinking.
What Will
it Cost?
Please click here for our current schedule
of charges. A special rate can be negotiated for any organization
wishing "to test the water" with a view to regular participation. We
realize that your greatest cost will be a week without one of your best
people, but we believe you will find that the lasting benefits to your
organization and to staff morale will make this investment worth far
more than the initial outlay.
