UNDENIABLE STRATEGIES TO EVOLVE YOUR COMPANY CULTURE FOR GROWTH

SESSION TO BE ANNOUNCED

Rapid advances in software over recent decades have brought opportunities for the private sector, but they pose new challenges, too. The emergence of software-defined technologies like cyber warfare, artificial intelligence, and more have empowered bad actors with new tools to disrupt operations in both the private and public sectors. Security concerns from state (China, Russia, Iran) and non-state (terrorist groups, international criminal networks) organizations alike pose a novel and increasingly complex set of challenges for business leaders. This conversation will dive into the threats that lurk in a digital world, from the tools you need to protect your enterprise to a breakdown of the most pressing security concerns today.

THE NEXT CRISIS CEOs NEED TO BE THINKING ABOUT NOW

SPOTLIGHT ON FOREIGN POLICY: NAVIGATING U.S.-CHINA RELATIONS

For what appears to be the first time in history, a group of America's most powerful Black executives, led by Kenneth Chenault and Kenneth Frazier, banded together to fight restrictive voting laws. However, racial injustice is just one of the many issues CEOs have begun to weigh in on in the public sphere, some airing their opinions or agendas on everything from climate change to women in the workplace. As the pressure for executives to weigh-in on hot button topics grows, how do they navigate being vocal while avoiding being caught in the political crossfire? What impact does speaking out have on shareholder profitability and interests? A discussion about how CEOs can re-write their playbooks to succeed in today's polarized times.

IT’S AN ALL-DIGITAL ECONOMY. SO HOW CAN YOUR ORGANIZATION STAY AHEAD OF THE COMPETITION?

Presented by Salesforce.org 
As the world emerged from the pandemic in the spring of 2021, a record 4 million U.S. workers, or 2.7% of the workforce, quit their jobs. This exodus is part of a global trend being called "the Great Resignation," a movement that sees enlightened employees turning in their timecards for a chance to lead more fulfilling lives. In short, many no longer live to work, but work to live. How can business leaders embrace this shift and create meaning in the work their employees do? What steps should be taken to prevent employee burnout and create a healthy work environment that balances work and life? A discussion about the tools needed to foster purpose-driven work and well-being that inspire employees and benefit the bottom line.

As the world emerged from the pandemic in the spring of 2021, a record four million U.S. workers, or 2.7% of the workforce, quit their jobs. This exodus is part of a global trend being called "the Great Resignation," a workforce shift away from unfulfilling and stressful jobs, toward more meaningful and purpose-driven lives. What can for-profit business leaders learn from the nonprofit sector to help embrace this shift and create more meaning in work—and at work—for their employees? What steps should be taken to prevent employee burnout and create a healthy work environment that integrates work and life? This special discussion between corporate and nonprofit leaders will focus on the strategies needed to foster a purpose-driven workplace culture and well-being that inspires employees and benefits the bottom line.

HOW A VACCINE CHANGED THE WORLD

Cocktail Reception

Today, U.S. companies are facing the highest talent shortages in a decade. The skills gap between the current workforce and organizations’ needs is only widening because of the digital acceleration and transformation Covid has ushered in.

How will the shift to a skills-first paradigm break down systemic hiring barriers and create opportunities for everyone? Hear more about the collaborations between the public and private sectors that are closing the labor shortage and skills gap by creating upskilling opportunities, and the training that is producing the most adaptable, diverse, and highly skilled workforce the country has ever seen.

“Purpose and profit” is no longer a platitude, but a marching order from employees and customers. An empowered workforce, innovation from diversity, climate commitment, and what’s good for the community require the CEO’s attention as much as the financials. During this major shift in corporate ideology, CEOs must balance standing up for their values, and those of stakeholders, without being sucked into a quagmire of notoriety.

Glasgow was a watershed for business and climate, with a majority of Fortune 500 CEOs telling us in surveys they have adopted, or plan to adopt, net-zero targets, and with the SEC proposing to ratify that attention in regulation. Yet, all sorts of practical issues arise as leaders turn that intention into a reality. We’ll drill down on how to track progress in a reliable way, the role of offsets to address the problem, and tactics to make Scope 3 a reality with suppliers and customers.

Considered one of the most powerful people in Washington, Joe Manchin can sink or boost Biden initiatives in a 50-50 Senate. Manchin was the critical vote to pass the Inflation Reduction Act, after stymying earlier attempts. What insight can he share about the art of compromise, and the role of moderates and bipartisanship in today’s politics? As chair of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, Manchin has sway on the energy economy. And how might Manchin’s role change, or not, if the Senate is no longer split 50-50 after Election Day?

When it comes to ESG, a company’s stakeholders may have different demands and desires. CEOs must balance these competing priorities as they deliver on their company’s strategic imperatives and highlight the organization’s ESG efforts. CEOs navigate this terrain against the backdrop of the left seeing ESG as a smokescreen to obscure corporate greed and the right viewing it as another move to “woke capitalism.” How can companies get the business strategy—and the message—correct in their efforts regarding ESG?

GREAT ECONOMIC AMBITIONS

<h5>Business as a Platform for Change</h5>
The FORTUNE CEO Initiative is a forum for corporate leaders who are committed to addressing major social problems as part of their core business strategies. The Initiative grew out of an historic meeting of 100 CEOs with Pope Francis at the Vatican in December 2016, and is based on a belief that infusing broader purpose into corporate strategies has become increasingly important in attracting and motivating talent, deepening bonds with consumers, steadying corporate reputation in an era of declining trust, and preserving a well-functioning society in a time of political tumult.
Through annual gatherings and participation in action work streams, CEO Initiative members exchange best practices and leadership techniques for addressing key issues, and work to identify opportunities for collective action. Participation is by invitation only, and benefits of membership in the CEO Initiative will extend beyond the annual meeting.
