Previous Conversations and Questions

Since 2016, we’ve asked one question each year, and many more throughout the year, distilling the biggest challenges we face across business, policy, and community.

Each question reflects the moment we’re in, the tensions leaders are navigating, and the opportunities that emerge when we step back to think differently. Below are a taster of our previous questions and conversations in order to find new answers.

Jeremy Waite, IBM

Probably the best conversation I’ve had this year.

James Whatley, Lego

One Question was one of the highlights of my year. In a world of fast-paced sound bites flying around the social ether, it presented itself as an oasis of calm and reflection. By focusing on one question answered from various angles it moved the audience from their usual distractions to a far more stately pace, where depth replaced breadth. In short, I loved it.

Fred Bolza, New Soil

One Question is the conversation that has stuck in my mind over the last year. The focus of the day leads to a depth of interrogation and contrast of answers that leave you to feel intellectually satisfied – which is very rarely the case with other events.

Bruce Daisley, Workplace Culture

One Question, it’s speakers and attendees were inspirational, emotional, and enlightening. It was truly an amazing experience.

Matthew Luhn, Formerly Pixar

One Question is both return on investment and indulgence.

Cara Delaney, Bloomberg

One Question is a fantastic forum for delving deeply into issues and topics vital for today's leaders and for connecting with intelligent people who offer provocative perspectives on those issues.
