Guest: Blair H. Sheppard, PricewaterhouseCoopers
Blair Sheppard thinks big and from his vantage point, he says there are only “Ten Years to Midnight” – which is the title of his book that addresses four urgent global crises and the strategies needed to solve them.
It is not a book he wanted to write. He didn’t seek out these crises. Rather they emerged as he travelled the globe, observing trends in India, Spain, the UK, the United States, along with a dozen other countries.
Sheppard is the former Dean of the Business School at Duke University and the Global Head of Strategy and Leadership at PricewaterhouseCoopers. He is an optimist by nature and he’s worried about our collective future. The reason he’s concerned is the scope of the challenges the world faces and the big thinking that is needed to address them by people with the power to make the necessary changes.
We invited Blair Sheppard to join us for a Conversation That Matters about the major issues facing us all and the insights, strategies and courage needed to address them.
