  • Future-Proofing a Decade of Change Open Innovation 2030
    Open Innovation 2030 Future-proofing a decade of change Open Innovation 2030 From covid-19 to climate change, economic recessions to technological disruption, 2020 has served as a reality check that global crises are only going to become more common in today’s increasingly-complex and connected world. ‘Open Innovation 2030: Future-proofing a decade of change’, a thought leadership program commissioned by HCL in partnership with The Economist Intelligence Unit, explores how companies can seize opportunity in complexity to not only survive, but thrive, now and in the coming decade. To rise to the occasion, business leaders must align on an enduring vision to build a better future; one underpinned by equality, sustainability and global cooperation. Enterprise risk management typically focuses on ‘known risks,’ amplifying them to model the maximum impact so that the worst case scenario can be planned for. At the other end of the scale, ‘unknown risks’ are considered outlying cases, like the asteroids that sometimes fly by Earth—we know they exist and have plans that can be attempted as a possible first response, but they largely remain on the edges of our planning blueprints. ven with a canvas that wide, structures.

  • Israel and Overseas: Israeli Election Primer 2015 (As Of, January 27, 2015) Elections • in Israel, Elections for the Knesset A
    Israel and Overseas: Israeli Election Primer 2015 (As of, January 27, 2015) Elections In Israel, elections for the Knesset are held at least every four years. As is frequently the case, the outgoing government coalition collapsed due to disagreements between the parties. As a result, the Knesset fell significantly short of seeing out its full four year term. Knesset elections in Israel will now be held on March 17, 2015, slightly over two years since the last time that this occurred. The Basics of the Israeli Electoral System All Israeli citizens above the age of 18 and currently in the country are eligible to vote. Voters simply select one political party. Votes are tallied and each party is then basically awarded the same percentage of Knesset seats as the percentage of votes that it received. So a party that wins 10% of total votes, receives 10% of the seats in the Knesset (In other words, they would win 12, out of a total of 120 seats). To discourage small parties, the law was recently amended and now the votes of any party that does not win at least 3.25% of the total (probably around 130,000 votes) are completely discarded and that party will not receive any seats. (Until recently, the “electoral threshold,” as it is known, was only 2%). For the upcoming elections, by January 29, each party must submit a numbered list of its candidates, which cannot later be altered. So a party that receives 10 seats will send to the Knesset the top 10 people listed on its pre-submitted list.

A Letter from the Chairman In November 2005, we held the second annual Saban Forum in Jerusalem. We had inaugurated the Saban Forum in Washington DC in December 2004 to provide a structured, institutional- ized annual dialogue between the United States and Israel. Each time we have gathered the high- est-level political and policy leaders, opinion formers and intellectuals to define and debate the issues that confront two of the world’s most vibrant democracies: the United States and Israel. The timing of the 2005 Forum could not have been more propitious or tragic.
