How can we make the world a better place?
Sustainable
Recent months have shown that supply chains not only carry goods also climate challenges, health risks and geopolitical tensions: now is the time to establish a common framework for stress tests and prioritization to ensure global value chains must work for people, and our planet
Equitable
Research has shown that women and men work best in mixed teams when everyone’s voice counts: now is the time to create companies where diversity and inclusion is baked into corporate structures using insights from behavioral economics and smart systems
Profitable
Economics and politics are inextricably linked: the solid methodological rigor of one compliment the behavioral insights of human institutions on the other—facing the challenges of today will require public-private cooperation and partnerships to spur economic dynamism and preservation of the natural environment
