Mark’s riveting address to the security, defence and development professionals, policy analysts and political advisers opened up a brand new perspective for this expert group committed to the reform of national and international institutions. His impressive speech, focusing on the evolution of the three pillars – state, society, and commerce, and based on his extensive personal experience working in the developing world and on UK social justice, connected and contextualised diverse issues in a most original and creative way, stimulating vigorous debate. It was acclaimed as the most inspirational and though-provoking session of 2015.
