Jeff Townsend – How can we build a working MSP if we don’t trust each other?



ABSTRACT

During this session, Jeff covers how in this brand new Industrial Revolution, one of the main problems is the lack of trust. There is often a lack of trust in the motivation of the critical raw materials industry, which can permeate into the political sphere. In some areas,  leaders are not happy to discuss the topic at the top level. So… how can we build a working MSP if we don’t trust each other.
