The 2016 Thought Leadership programme convened by Corsham Institute, in conjunction with RAND Europe and St George’s House, examined a number of crucial dimensions of our connected society. The programme facilitated the gathering of a diverse set of experts and influential leaders from various sectors to discuss challenges and opportunities, share experiences, and build a network. To give a brief glimpse of these discussions, we have produced this Key Findings report to provide participants, stakeholders and interested parties with a strong sense of both the subjects covered during our deliberations, as well as some of the issues, which still need to be tackled going forward.
