We were pleased to host the first meeting of the Who is Losing Learning Solutions Council at our London office, where they discussed the new 'Who is Losing Learning?' report. The Council aims to help develop policy solutions that can tackle the root causes of lost learning. It is made up of brilliant charities including The Difference, Mission 44, Impetus - Backing the best and IPPR, who are working with school leaders, parents’ groups and children’s organisations to help get excluded children back into full-time education. We are proud to support a number of non-profit and cultural partners in the UK and around the world.

Congratulations to Mariah Sixkiller in our West Coast team for the important contribution she has made to the independent Commission on the US National Defense Strategy.
It has been an honor to serve on the National Defense Strategy (NDS) Commission for the past two years. Today, the United States faces the most challenging geopolitical environment since the Cold War. I was privileged to collaborate with fellow national security experts to review the 2022 NDS and provide constructive feedback. Our report underscores the urgent need for bold leadership and a comprehensive "all elements of national power" approach. We must harness the full spectrum of resources - from the United States Department of Defense, the U.S. Department of State, USAID, additional Executive branch agencies, the private sector, civil society, and US allies and partners - to truly realize the "Integrated deterrence" set out in the NDS. We also recognize that to fight and win future wars, DOD must accelerate and fundamentally reimagine its collaboration with the innovation base. Additionally, we advocate for the renewal of the National Defense Education Act, as a cornerstone of long-term national security resilience. This renewal is essential to cultivating a diverse, skilled, and ready workforce capable of contributing to our national defense - whether they're in uniform on the battlefield or in civvies behind the computer here at home. You can read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/giaqDpdd. Huge thanks to my fellow commissioners and our staff (especially David Grannis and Becca Wasser) for their exceptional collaboration and hard work. And thank you as well to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, for granting me the opportunity to return to voluntary federal service. It's truly been an honor.

We were very pleased to see one of our London colleagues, Niva Thiruchelvam, take part in a panel at the recent CSaP - Centre for Science and Policy, University of Cambridge Annual Conference at The Royal Society in London. The panel discussed the impact of green investment on growth, and how governments can best support the transition to net zero. Energy policy and regulation will help define the coming decades, and it is essential for businesses in every part of the economy to prepare themselves to navigate this. Advice on these issues from experts like Niva and other members of our team is increasingly important to many of the companies and leaders we work with.
