Leon Fuerth, founder and director, The Project on Forward Engagement will present a talk on “The Whack-a-mole Problem: Game-changing Organizations for Game-changing Solutions.” We are engaged in a growing list of “wars” — against crime, terrorism, drugs, disease, climate change, etc. — where the premise is the need for total victory, but the reality looks more like an open-ended struggle. One way or the other, however, we clearly need not only game-changing solutions, but game-changing forms of organization. In this talk, Fuerth will be exploring and expanding on this challenge of not only finding a solution, but finding an organization capable of actualizing it — organizations which must display certain qualities that reflect general principles, and which should carry across from one problem and its solution-set to other problems and their solution-sets.
