2. TIPS
HERE ARE A FEW TIPS THAT MAY BE HELPFUL
IN GETTING THE MOST OUT OF THE GRI.
GRI discussions are NOT panels. They are like after-dinner
conversations in one’s own living room with a few good friends
under the guidance of the moderating Chair.
Everyone participates equally, not just the Discussion (co-)Chairs.
The job of the moderating Chair is to make EVERYBODY talk and
engage. Discussion co-Chairs sit scattered about the room and
participate no more, no less than anyone else in the room.
If connecting with new partners can be useful, we encourage you to
ENGAGE as vocally and actively as you might enjoy. This will enable
others to get to know you and you to get to know them.
The Moderating Chair will be addressing questions DIRECTLY to
particular participants, by name or by pointing at them, not just to
anyone unspecified in the room at-large, as that is usually greeted
with pregnant silence. Even so, you are encouraged to comment,
question, dissent or otherwise interject.
As no one will prompt you, please join the discussion room of
your choice in time. Rooms only fill in AFTER a discussion starts
and you need not be alarmed by a near empty room. It will
quickly get crowded.
Some participants speak so softly as to be unheard by most.
SPEAK UP and remind others to do so if you can’t hear them.
AVOID monopolizing conversation, self-promotion or commercial
pitches as the Moderating Chair has been urged to cut them off.
The GRI format was designed to enable senior industry
leaders to share, learn and make friends in as natural,
spontaneous and collegial a setting as possible. We welcome
your suggestions as to how we can do better.
While journalists may sometimes take notes during
discussions, they only ever do so after signing a “Chatham
House” confidentiality agreement under which they commit
not to quote for attribution to a person or to a company,
except with specific consent from the respective parties. In
addition, students or other reporters summarize most of the
discussions and take notes that are subsequently distributed
to all participants.
3. WELCOME
The mission of discussion
Chairs at the GRI is not to talk
but to make others talk, engage
and connect.
We are delighted to welcome you to the British GRI 2011.
As with all GRI get-togethers, the British GRI 2011 was created by many present here
today who have contributed front-line expertise, intellectual brilliance, financial resources
and more, to reach out to fellow leading lights and create a program to discuss today’s issues.
We can’t thank them enough.
If (co-)chairing one or more discussions could be useful to you at any forthcoming GRI event, we
invite you to contact us and discuss how best to put them on the program. If any other type of
Emrah Senel
involvement could be useful, it is similarly welcome.
In the meantime, please join in the fray and engage in the discussions as if this was about you,
your business, your opportunities. Because it is.
We wish you a great GRI. Thanks for being with us.
