Enduring relationships with trusted peers are the core of the council experience. Enhanced by our global, enterprise-wide reach, these relationships span the world and extend the value of council membership. Confidential peer dialogue provides you with a broader perspective and shared experiences, as well as access to specific knowledge and best practices. Council membership benefits

• Collective problem solving that puts your issue on the agenda
• Benchmarking through regular surveys of council members about relevant company practices
• Multifunctional insights generated by the wealth of perspectives gathered from over 100 councils (covering more than 50 functions) that work together across geographies
• Virtual communities that extend learning opportunities through a variety of online forums and other resources

The Conference Board Councils are ongoing peer networks that meet in person three times a year, plus ad hoc virtual sessions. The level of trust that is built during and between meetings allows members to share leading practices and discuss challenges and successes in an off-the-record environment. Content for meeting agendas is set by members, so the discussions are timely and relevant. The group will typically discuss one subject in substantial depth, including occasional workshop sessions, and two to three other topics in a shorter fashion.

• Impact of zero interest rates
• Deglobalization
• Future of manufacturing
• Will inflation ever come back?
• Brexit: impact on supply chains
• Trade war

Members will be Chief Economists or the most senior executives responsible for corporate strategy in their organisations, with a Global or EMEA remit.
