Global Business Policy Council
A.T. Kearney’s Global Business Policy Council (GBPC) helps business and government leaders worldwide anticipate and plan for the future. In 1992, Paul A. Laudicina, A.T. Kearney’s current managing partner and chairman of the board, launched the Council and served as its first director. Today, the Council is led by Erik R. Peterson, who came to A.T. Kearney in 2010 from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), where he served as senior vice president and held the CSIS William A. Schreyer Chair in Global Analysis. The core GBPC team is based in Washington, D.C. and draws on the expertise of a wide range of international experts.
The GBPC offers business and government leaders three key services:
- Meetings that attract expertise and insight: As profiled in Forbes magazine, the annual GBPC CEO Retreat convenes 55 leading executives and policy figures to discuss key global issues, best practices, and strategy
- Intellectual capital that helps leaders calibrate and plan for the future
- Global Services Location Index: analyzes and ranks the top 50 countries worldwide as the best destinations for providing outsourcing activities, including IT services and support, contact centers and back-office support
- Foreign Direct Investment Confidence Index: demonstrates the "present and future prospects for international investment flows" via a survey of global executives, whose companies account for over $2 trillion in annual global revenue
- Customized strategic advisory services, including scenario planning, location assessment, investment promotion, and global foresight

—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“A country survives its legislation. That truth should not comfort the conservative nor depress the radical. For it means that public policy can enlarge its scope and increase its audacity, can try big experiments without trembling too much over the result. This nation could enter upon the most radical experiments and could afford to fail in them.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“Daughter to that good Earl, once President
Of England’s Council and her Treasury,
Who lived in both, unstain’d with gold or fee,
And left them both, more in himself content.
Till the sad breaking of that Parliament
Broke him, as that dishonest victory
At Chaeronea, fatal to liberty,
Kill’d with report that old man eloquent;—”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
