ThinkSet Leadoff: Deep Thinking, Global Issues
BRG is home to renowned thought leaders and experts considered authorities in their fields of work. Our timely research and perspectives provide analysis and insights on the most important issues facing the industries and organizations we serve.
In May, a group of BRG senior colleagues gathered in Scottsdale, Arizona, for a series of conversations about the most pressing issues of our time.
As part of the BRG Leadership Summit, several experts addressed questions and matters affecting our lives, our families and our businesses. We heard a new, data-driven perspective on the opioid crisis from the folks on our healthcare team. Our cofounder and chairman, David Teece, joined with colleagues to brief us on the implications of the autonomous-vehicle revolution. Our top human capital and cybersecurity experts delivered the latest thinking on gender pay disparity, human capital in the gig economy and the relentless drumbeat of data breaches.
As sobering as many of those discussions were, I came away from the meeting with a new energy, fueled by a profound appreciation for our team and the deep thinking they bring to even the most complicated challenges. I see that thinking deployed for our clients every day, of course, but directing it toward global, societal issues really opened my eyes to the true depth of our knowledge, experience and creativity.
Reviewing this issue of ThinkSet, I felt a jolt of the same energy. In Issue 5, we bring fresh perspective to topics that are as profound and complex as the challenges we tackled at the summit.
