I begin by setting the backdrop for tonight’s discussion.

Conflict. Turbulence. Disruption. 

That’s what you see on any screen you look at right now. 

Be it the war with no end date in the Middle East.

Online platforms where people yell at each other in ways they never would on the street, or in the boardroom.

At the same time, we are seeing our economy change.
