The Dialogue Project

Business Steps up!

A global study of how business can improve civil discourse and reduce polarization in our society.

And new in 2021: The Dialogue Project takes residency at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business.

The percent of people who said the inability to have respectful conversation is a major problem.

The top three topics that 2/3 of respondents said were difficult to talk about with those who disagree.

82% said people should be more respectful when talking with those with different views, but only 50% said they should spend more time doing so.
