IN 1870, MY GREAT GRANDFATHER, JUST 15 AT THE TIME, CAME TO NEW YORK FROM TYSVÆR IN NORWAY. HIS HOPE, HIS PROJECT, WAS TO BUILD A BETTER TOMORROW. WE SHARE THE SAME HOPE, IT TURNS OUT.

I am delighted to be co-hosting the Global Projects Exchange with such a world-renowned partner. Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs has, for nearly 70 years, been equipping future leaders with the skills, knowledge and intellectual curiosity to solve the world’s most critical public policy challenges.
One of Xyntéo’s roles is to connect thinkers like these with the businesses upon which our growth depends. So this is a match well-made.
The organisations and individuals that meet for the Global Projects Exchange are driven by some pretty big ideas. How to break the link between the pursuit of human ambition and the depletion of our natural environment. How to economically empower not just a sliver of society but rather its entirety. How to generate value that lasts across generations and not only quarters.
Some would dismiss the above as impractical idealism, yet the opposite is actually true. From telegram to telephone, from horses to internal combustion engine, history is full of examples where someone with four things – an idea, energy, competence and connections – defied assumptions about what is considered ‘practical’ and moved humanity forward.
Incubating projects is of course what the Global Projects Exchange is all about. How can we leverage our collective ideas, energy, competence and connections to incubate projects that advance future-fit growth? What can we learn from the projects we have undertaken over the past year – which have seen us start to put disadvantaged women to meaningful work in Indian businesses, try to increase the world’s capacity for future-fit leadership and seek to improve water policy in Malaysia?
We are taking on some big, complex challenges. That is why I am so delighted that we have Glen Moreno, chairman of Pearson, as well as his fellow members of the Leadership Board (see page 28), to help guide us.
In 1870, my great grandfather, just 15 at the time, came to New York from Tysvær in Norway. His hope, his project, was to build a better tomorrow. We share the same hope, it turns out. From the minute he set sail from Norway to America he had hope, he took risks and was willing to fail, he worked hard, and he was driven by a quality that has made America, Columbia University and our partnership great: curiosity. Let’s do as he did and move forward with strength and no hesitation. Let’s get started.

The School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) is pleased to welcome you to Columbia University for this year’s Global Projects Exchange. The Exchange is a unique and important gathering, bringing together leaders from business, academia and civil society to identify ways to support a new international agenda for global growth. This is the first time this meeting will be hosted in partnership with an academic institution, pairing the deep knowledge and intellectual leadership of SIPA’s world-renowned faculty with the worldwide reach, action orientation, and experience of Xyntéo and its many partners.
Over the next two days, we invite you to engage some of the people and
programmes that have made SIPA a premier school of global public policy for nearly
70 years. At this year’s Exchange, award-winning faculty members such as Nobel
Laureate Joseph Stiglitz and internationally recognised economist Jeffrey Sachs will
share their perspectives on climate change, sustainable development, and inequality
through two keynote addresses. Jason Bordoff, director of SIPA’s Center on Global
Energy Policy and former special assistant to President Barack Obama, will co-lead
a session on the energy transition. Visiting professor Mari Pangestu, the former
Indonesian Trade Minister, will offer her views on climate change and the road
through Paris, along with other extraordinary SIPA faculty members. We also will
include distinguished colleagues from Columbia Business School and the broader
University community, as well as a number of SIPA’s remarkable students.
We are excited to welcome you to our diverse and dynamic community. Thank you
for joining us and we look forward to productive and inspiring discussions.
WELCOME MERIT E. JANOW DEAN, SIPA, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY
THE EXCHANGE IS A UNIQUE AND IMPORTANT GATHERING, BRINGING TOGETHER LEADERS FROM BUSINESS, ACADEMIA AND CIVIL SOCIETY TO IDENTIFY WAYS TO SUPPORT A NEW INTERNATIONAL AGENDA FOR GLOBAL GROWTH.

Xyntéo’s mission is to reinvent growth. We need a growth model that works with rather than against nature; generates value for the many rather than a small elite; and delivers value over the longer term rather than seeking only short-term gains.
Xyntéo founded the Global Leadership
and Technology Exchange (GLTE)
partnership in 2006, with the aim of
working with global organisations to
identify and carry out projects that
aim to enable businesses to grow in
a new way, fit for the resource, climate
and demographic realities of the
21st century.
There are now 20 organisations in this
collaborative partnership, including
Xyntéo, working together to incubate
and deliver initiatives designed to
reinvent growth.
Our partners include:
✚ ČEZ
✚ Det Norske
✚ DNV GL
✚ Energias de Portugal
✚ Eni
✚ Ericsson
✚ EY
✚ IKEA Foundation
✚ Lyse
✚ MasterCard
✚ Sapa
✚ Shell
✚ Singapore’s Economic
Development Board
✚ Statkraft

2015 highlights:
✚ The IKEA Foundation, UNDP, India
Development Foundation and Xyntéo
have been working side-by-side
developing a project that aims to create
employment and entrepreneurship
opportunities for vulnerable women
in India. The ambition is to create a
better future for more people; and
quality growth for the nation. We are
looking forward to demonstrating that
by combining the talents, reach and
experience of both the private and
public sectors, we can forge a model
of collaboration that offers the best
chance of success, not only in the
Indian context, but also one that could
be scaled and replicated elsewhere.
✚ The pilot year of The Leadership
Vanguard initiative has seen the catalysts
– future and current leaders from Unilever,
MasterCard, DNV GL, Singapore’s
Economic Development Board and
Woodside – collaborate with thought
leaders and disruptors on projects that can
advance our mission of reinventing growth.
Ideas being incubated include a corporate
ranking platform that moves beyond the
Fortune 500 to rank corporations by the
‘future capital’ they create – fit for the
next century of growth’; a knowledge-
sharing hub aimed at unlocking the
development potential of natural
resources in Myanmar; and a digital
platform that aims to help consumers
make better choices for themselves,
their communities and the planet.

✚ The impact of digital technology on
the energy space is at the heart of a
cross-sector project involving Xyntéo,
EDP, ČEZ and Statkraft, which has
seen the partners collaborate with
future-orientated entrepreneurs and
innovators from a range of industries
including Amazon, Telenor, BT and
IBM. The partners’ ambition is to
identify digitally-enabled new service
or business model opportunities,
and explore strategies for their rapid
scaling, that can simultaneously yield
growth and meet future societal needs.
✚ Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is today’s
cleanest hydrocarbon marine fuel.
LNG-fuelled vessels generate almost
no sulphur dioxide, much reduced
nitrogen oxides and as much as 20 per
cent less greenhouse gas than vessels
powered by heavy fuel oil. However,
first movers struggle with cost and
uncertainty. To unlock the potential of
LNG as a marine fuel, Xyntéo is working
with Shell to develop a multi-sector
collaboration made up of high impact
stakeholders from across the shipping
value chain. Together, we can enable
the global shipping industry to continue
to play a powerful role in fuelling our
future growth, without compromising
the environment we depend on.
ABOUT THE PARTNERSHIP
Estimates suggest that the global shipping industry is currently responsible for around three per cent of greenhouse gases and over
20 per cent of total nitrogen oxides.

✚ Despite abundant water resources,
increasing droughts and floods are
placing a strain on Malaysia’s growth
ambitions. Shell and Xyntéo are
working together to explore policy
and the stress nexus in the country.
This project is gathering together
leading organisations from local and
international businesses, civil society
and government to create a cross-
sector dialogue and enable innovative
water policy solutions – with the
ambition of unlocking Malaysia’s future
growth and prosperity.

The global energy system is undergoing the greatest upheaval in generations. The impacts of climate change are being felt more frequently and severely, exacerbated by surging energy use in emerging markets, with 1.3 billion people still lacking access to modern energy services.
Science and technology are unlocking new energy
sources, from unconventional oil and gas resources to
renewable and other clean energy technologies. And
changes are afoot on the demand side as well, with
new customer-centric and digitally-enabled services
disrupting traditional business models. The changing
dynamics between energy producers and empowered
consumers are transforming the energy ecosystem
and impacting geopolitics.
Understanding the complex world of energy has
never been more difficult and the consequences have
never been higher. Multiple priorities must be navigated
simultaneously: robust economic growth, climate
stewardship and foreign policy. How can business,
policymakers and stakeholders at community, national
and international levels collaborate to define and
accelerate a low-carbon energy transition?
SESSION 1: THE ENERGY TRANSITION DAY 1, 14:30–16:30; DAY 2, 09:15–11:30On Day 1, we will frame the big questions around the energy transition; and on Day 2, we will explore specific projects.

Access to capital is a critical lever for economic growth. Socially-responsible investing, development aid and corporate social responsibility initiatives are evaluating investments not only by profitability but also by purpose, but these mechanisms alone are not sufficient.
By emphasising short-term returns, our markets
and institutions are leaving behind large areas – from
cleantech to entrepreneurs in the developing world –
that will be essential for realizing a future in which man
and nature are in balance and the benefits of growth
are enjoyed by the many, not just the few. What new
instruments, systems and collaborative models can
channel finance towards longer-term investments,
and how can policy support this shift?
SESSION 2: LONG-TERM INVESTING DAY 1, 14:30–16:30; DAY 2, 09:15–11:30On Day 1, we will frame the big questions around long-term investing; and on Day 2, we will explore specific projects.

Accelerating technological development, globalisation and shortening investment cycles are widening the gap between future growth and a meaningful inclusion of our global workforce. This structural disconnect is a leading cause of inequality and instability, undermining the foundations upon which we lead.
Creating inclusive, resilient growth will depend on
a deep ‘future-fit’ pool of talent and skills. Individuals,
organisations and economies will need a step
change in agility, entrepreneurship, curiosity and
collaboration to engage and thrive in this increasingly
complex, interconnected world. Leaders will be increasingly
demanded not only to demonstrate these attributes
themselves but also to build communities and organisations
that can foster and harness them in many people, in part
by identifying and empowering ‘catalysts’ who can kickstart
new growth in their immediate communities.
How are businesses, policymakers, and civil society
working together in different geographies to provide the
next generation with the skills and capacities that will
be needed? How can better collaboration among these
sectors close the skills gap?
SESSION 3: FUTURE-FIT TALENT AND SKILLS DAY 1, 14:30–16:30; DAY 2, 09:15–11:30On Day 1, we will frame the big questions around future-fit talent and skills; and on Day 2, we will explore specific projects.

He began his career as an officer in the US Army where he served in a range of leadership roles in South Korea and the US. Rick left the military for client-facing leadership roles at information technology integrator Perot Systems (now Dell
Services) before shifting focus to innovation, cultural change, strategy and leadership development in 2003. After several years working on performance culture and leadership engagements for clients in Scandinavia, he took time off to film in-depth interviews with CEOs, thinkers and young professionals, where he tried to connect leadership and purpose to the tremendous changes happening in the world. Seeking to apply this learning and work on the most important issues of our time, Rick joined Xyntéo in 2012 and has since played a key role in developing the company’s approach to innovation, leadership and mindset change.
