What's needed are new approaches for enterprises to measure the value of the impact public-private data exchanges can deliver as well as the data therein. Developing a better understanding of how data collaboration can create shared value is vitally important. The increasing commitment from the global community of CEOs to advance the principles of stakeholder capitalism with impact oriented business models represents a perfect place to start that journey.

Qatar is a small peninsular nation on the northeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula. Qatar is endowed with abundant hydrocarbon resources and is the world's largest producer of liquified natural gas (LNG), which accounts for over 80% of its export earnings. Like many of its wealthy neighbors, Qatar faces a unique dilemma with the onset of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Despite having one of the world's highest per-capita income and a highly educated local population, the majority of Qataris are under-employed and working in government white collar jobs where they are unable to fully realize the potential of their level of education. These are precisely the occupations that are likely to be made redundant by AI.1 The bulk of the workforce in Qatar consists of expatriates drawn primarily from South Asia and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
