    CRN Roundtable Reports
    The Roundtable on “Strategic Foresight and Scenario Planning” explored and discussed strategic and methodical approaches to develop future-oriented policies. The first part of the day was devoted to the question of how strategic foresight can be designed and used in corporate management and public policy. Jan Oliver Schwarz (Berlin University of the Arts) provided insights into the concept, rationale, and potential pitfalls of strategic issue management in corporations. Jack Radisch (OECD International Futures Programme) and Beat Habegger (Center of Security Studies ETH Zurich) presented some preliminary results of new studies on country risk management and horizon scanning respectively. The second part of the day focused on two particular methodical approaches that are often used to support the development of future-oriented policies. Olivier da Costa (European Commission) spoke about roadmapping in science and technology policy and connected it to the tools and methods in risk analysis and management. Kristel Van der Elst (World Economic Forum) explained how scenarios can be used to develop a long-term view on the challenges an organization faces and what mistakes in doing so should be avoided. The 5th Zurich Roundtable took place on 5 December 2008 at ETH Zurich. It continued the Roundtable series of the Crisis and Risk Network (CRN), a Swiss-Swedish initiative for international dialog on national-level security risks and vulnerabilities.

    Over the last decade, Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), collaborative platforms for actors in the public and private sector, have gained importance in the field of security policy and proliferated across the globe. Yet, despite the popularity of PPPs, such structures come with challenges in their formation, management, and effectiveness. Thus, this roundtable was held to help shed some light on the network governance approach and the role that PPPs play in addressing modern-day risks. The roundtable was structured in way that sought to fuse insights from practioners and scholars. Session I delved into the theoretical background on network governance and the significant role that trust plays in networks and partnerships. The second session was a platform for practitioners to exchange their experiences using PPP to address security issues critical infrastructure protection, information security, and international terrorism. The final session brought the experts together for a moderated discussion.
