Engaging stakeholders to harness the power of disagreement

A framework for collective intelligence, evidence-based dialogue, and systemic change

In periods of deep transformation, no single actor or institution has a complete view of reality. Addressing complex change therefore requires collective intelligence: the ability to draw insight from multiple, sometimes conflicting perspectives.

We harness the power of disagreement by bringing different stakeholders together in structured formats that allow divergent experiences, interests and interpretations to interact productively. The objective is not consensus, but clearer understanding, better-informed action, and the gradual building of trust through sustained, meaningful interaction.

What we do

Events and DialoguesCurated spaces for meaningful engagement, bringing a plurality of voices together to navigate our era’s most complex shifts. By moving beyond surface-level debate, we bridge deep-seated divides to foster trust and transform shared insights into concrete, actionable solutions for society’s most pressing challenges.

Expert Groups & Task Forces

Structured groups convening leading experts, institutional actors, and key societal stakeholders. Guided by the mandate of our Founder, President, Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, these collaborative bodies move beyond any personal, political, or national interest to work through contested issues, integrate multiple perspectives, and produce shared analytical or strategic outputs.

We currently drive progress through several dedicated workstreams: from Expert Groups defining the future of Artificial Intelligence and Media, to our specialized Task Forces on Sustainable Food Systems and Innovation and Democracy in a Digital Society.
