To conclude the morning, you’ll work in collaboration with your CEO peers to develop a series of essential questions for Jim. If you were going to have dinner with him, what would you ask?

This is your chance to go deep with Jim Collins and get his take on the most important, specific challenges of our time, to get his advice and perspective.
