IN 1870, MY GREAT GRANDFATHER, JUST 15 AT THE TIME, CAME TO NEW YORK FROM TYSVÆR IN NORWAY. HIS HOPE, HIS PROJECT, WAS TO BUILD A BETTER TOMORROW. WE SHARE THE SAME HOPE, IT TURNS OUT.

I am delighted to be co-hosting the Global Projects Exchange with such a world-renowned partner. Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs has, for nearly 70 years, been equipping future leaders with the skills, knowledge and intellectual curiosity to solve the world’s most critical public policy challenges.

One of Xyntéo’s roles is to connect thinkers like these with the businesses upon which our growth depends. So this is a match well-made.

The organisations and individuals that meet for the Global Projects Exchange are driven by some pretty big ideas. How to break the link between the pursuit of human ambition and the depletion of our natural environment. How to economically empower not just a sliver of society but rather its entirety. How to generate value that lasts across generations and not only quarters.

Some would dismiss the above as impractical idealism, yet the opposite is actually true. From telegram to telephone, from horses to internal combustion engine, history is full of examples where someone with four things – an idea, energy, competence and connections – defied assumptions about what is considered ‘practical’ and moved humanity forward.

Incubating projects is of course what the Global Projects Exchange is all about. How can we leverage our collective ideas, energy, competence and connections to incubate projects that advance future-fit growth? What can we learn from the projects we have undertaken over the past year – which have seen us start to put disadvantaged women to meaningful work in Indian businesses, try to increase the world’s capacity for future-fit leadership and seek to improve water policy in Malaysia?

We are taking on some big, complex challenges. That is why I am so delighted that we have Glen Moreno, chairman of Pearson, as well as his fellow members of the Leadership Board (see page 28), to help guide us.

In 1870, my great grandfather, just 15 at the time, came to New York from Tysvær in Norway. His hope, his project, was to build a better tomorrow. We share the same hope, it turns out. From the minute he set sail from Norway to America he had hope, he took risks and was willing to fail, he worked hard, and he was driven by a quality that has made America, Columbia University and our partnership great: curiosity. Let’s do as he did and move forward with strength and no hesitation. Let’s get started.

The School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) is pleased to welcome you to Columbia University for this year’s Global Projects Exchange. The Exchange is a unique and important gathering, bringing together leaders from business, academia and civil society to identify ways to support a new international agenda for global growth. This is the first time this meeting will be hosted in partnership with an academic institution, pairing the deep knowledge and intellectual leadership of SIPA’s world-renowned faculty with the worldwide reach, action orientation, and experience of Xyntéo and its many partners.

Over the next two days, we invite you to engage some of the people and

programmes that have made SIPA a premier school of global public policy for nearly

70 years. At this year’s Exchange, award-winning faculty members such as Nobel

Laureate Joseph Stiglitz and internationally recognised economist Jeffrey Sachs will

share their perspectives on climate change, sustainable development, and inequality

through two keynote addresses. Jason Bordoff, director of SIPA’s Center on Global

Energy Policy and former special assistant to President Barack Obama, will co-lead

a session on the energy transition. Visiting professor Mari Pangestu, the former

Indonesian Trade Minister, will offer her views on climate change and the road

through Paris, along with other extraordinary SIPA faculty members. We also will

include distinguished colleagues from Columbia Business School and the broader

University community, as well as a number of SIPA’s remarkable students.

We are excited to welcome you to our diverse and dynamic community. Thank you

for joining us and we look forward to productive and inspiring discussions.

WELCOME MERIT E. JANOW DEAN, SIPA, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY

THE EXCHANGE IS A UNIQUE AND IMPORTANT GATHERING, BRINGING TOGETHER LEADERS FROM BUSINESS, ACADEMIA AND CIVIL SOCIETY TO IDENTIFY WAYS TO SUPPORT A NEW INTERNATIONAL AGENDA FOR GLOBAL GROWTH.

Xyntéo’s mission is to reinvent growth. We need a growth model that works with rather than against nature; generates value for the many rather than a small elite; and delivers value over the longer term rather than seeking only short-term gains.

Xyntéo founded the Global Leadership

and Technology Exchange (GLTE)

partnership in 2006, with the aim of

working with global organisations to

identify and carry out projects that

aim to enable businesses to grow in

a new way, fit for the resource, climate

and demographic realities of the

21st century.

There are now 20 organisations in this

collaborative partnership, including

Xyntéo, working together to incubate

and deliver initiatives designed to

reinvent growth.

Our partners include:

✚ ČEZ

✚ Det Norske

✚ DNV GL

✚ Energias de Portugal

✚ Eni

✚ Ericsson

✚ EY

✚ IKEA Foundation

✚ Lyse

✚ MasterCard

✚ Sapa

2015 highlights:

✚ The IKEA Foundation, UNDP, India

Development Foundation and Xyntéo

have been working side-by-side

developing a project that aims to create

employment and entrepreneurship

opportunities for vulnerable women

in India. The ambition is to create a

better future for more people; and

quality growth for the nation. We are

looking forward to demonstrating that

by combining the talents, reach and

experience of both the private and

public sectors, we can forge a model

of collaboration that offers the best

chance of success, not only in the

Indian context, but also one that could

be scaled and replicated elsewhere.

✚ The pilot year of The Leadership

Vanguard initiative has seen the catalysts

– future and current leaders from Unilever,

MasterCard, DNV GL, Singapore’s

Economic Development Board and

Woodside – collaborate with thought

leaders and disruptors on projects that can

advance our mission of reinventing growth.

Ideas being incubated include a corporate

ranking platform that moves beyond the

Fortune 500 to rank corporations by the

‘future capital’ they create – fit for the

next century of growth’; a knowledge-

sharing hub aimed at unlocking the

development potential of natural

resources in Myanmar; and a digital

platform that aims to help consumers

make better choices for themselves,

their communities and the planet.

✚ The impact of digital technology on

the energy space is at the heart of a

cross-sector project involving Xyntéo,

EDP, ČEZ and Statkraft, which has

seen the partners collaborate with

future-orientated entrepreneurs and

innovators from a range of industries

including Amazon, Telenor, BT and

IBM. The partners’ ambition is to

identify digitally-enabled new service

or business model opportunities,

and explore strategies for their rapid

scaling, that can simultaneously yield

growth and meet future societal needs.

✚ Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is today’s

cleanest hydrocarbon marine fuel.

LNG-fuelled vessels generate almost

no sulphur dioxide, much reduced

nitrogen oxides and as much as 20 per

cent less greenhouse gas than vessels

powered by heavy fuel oil. However,

first movers struggle with cost and

uncertainty. To unlock the potential of

LNG as a marine fuel, Xyntéo is working

with Shell to develop a multi-sector

collaboration made up of high impact

stakeholders from across the shipping

value chain. Together, we can enable

the global shipping industry to continue

to play a powerful role in fuelling our

future growth, without compromising

the environment we depend on.

ABOUT THE PARTNERSHIP

Estimates suggest that the global shipping industry is currently responsible for around three per cent of greenhouse gases and over

20 per cent of total nitrogen oxides.

✚ Despite abundant water resources,

increasing droughts and floods are

placing a strain on Malaysia’s growth

ambitions. Shell and Xyntéo are

working together to explore policy

and the stress nexus in the country.

This project is gathering together

leading organisations from local and

international businesses, civil society

and government to create a cross-

sector dialogue and enable innovative

water policy solutions – with the

ambition of unlocking Malaysia’s future

growth and prosperity.

The global energy system is undergoing the greatest upheaval in generations. The impacts of climate change are being felt more frequently and severely, exacerbated by surging energy use in emerging markets, with 1.3 billion people still lacking access to modern energy services.

Science and technology are unlocking new energy

sources, from unconventional oil and gas resources to

renewable and other clean energy technologies. And

changes are afoot on the demand side as well, with

new customer-centric and digitally-enabled services

disrupting traditional business models. The changing

dynamics between energy producers and empowered

consumers are transforming the energy ecosystem

and impacting geopolitics.

 Understanding the complex world of energy has

never been more difficult and the consequences have

never been higher. Multiple priorities must be navigated

simultaneously: robust economic growth, climate

stewardship and foreign policy. How can business,

policymakers and stakeholders at community, national

and international levels collaborate to define and

accelerate a low-carbon energy transition?

SESSION 1: THE ENERGY TRANSITION DAY 1, 14:30–16:30; DAY 2, 09:15–11:30On Day 1, we will frame the big questions around the energy transition; and on Day 2, we will explore specific projects.

Access to capital is a critical lever for economic growth. Socially-responsible investing, development aid and corporate social responsibility initiatives are evaluating investments not only by profitability but also by purpose, but these mechanisms alone are not sufficient.

By emphasising short-term returns, our markets

and institutions are leaving behind large areas – from

cleantech to entrepreneurs in the developing world –

that will be essential for realizing a future in which man

and nature are in balance and the benefits of growth

are enjoyed by the many, not just the few. What new

instruments, systems and collaborative models can

channel finance towards longer-term investments,

and how can policy support this shift?

Accelerating technological development, globalisation and shortening investment cycles are widening the gap between future growth and a meaningful inclusion of our global workforce. This structural disconnect is a leading cause of inequality and instability, undermining the foundations upon which we lead.

Creating inclusive, resilient growth will depend on

a deep ‘future-fit’ pool of talent and skills. Individuals,

organisations and economies will need a step

change in agility, entrepreneurship, curiosity and

collaboration to engage and thrive in this increasingly

complex, interconnected world. Leaders will be increasingly

demanded not only to demonstrate these attributes

themselves but also to build communities and organisations

that can foster and harness them in many people, in part

by identifying and empowering ‘catalysts’ who can kickstart

new growth in their immediate communities.

How are businesses, policymakers, and civil society

working together in different geographies to provide the

next generation with the skills and capacities that will

be needed? How can better collaboration among these

sectors close the skills gap?

SESSION 3: FUTURE-FIT TALENT AND SKILLS DAY 1, 14:30–16:30; DAY 2, 09:15–11:30On Day 1, we will frame the big questions around future-fit talent and skills; and on Day 2, we will explore specific projects.

He began his career as an officer in the US Army where he served in a range of leadership roles in South Korea and the US. Rick left the military for client-facing leadership roles at information technology integrator Perot Systems (now Dell

Services) before shifting focus to innovation, cultural change, strategy and leadership development in 2003. After several years working on performance culture and leadership engagements for clients in Scandinavia, he took time off to film in-depth interviews with CEOs, thinkers and young professionals, where he tried to connect leadership and purpose to the tremendous changes happening in the world. Seeking to apply this learning and work on the most important issues of our time, Rick joined Xyntéo in 2012 and has since played a key role in developing the company’s approach to innovation, leadership and mindset change.
