SUMMARY:Career Meeting I The Hidden Cost of Bad Culture: What It's Really Costing Your Bottom Line
DESCRIPTION:Most organizations don’t have a strategy problem—they have a people problem they can’t see on paper. This session explores the hidden financial impact of workplace culture\, including disengagement\, turnover\, leadership gaps\, and communication breakdowns. While these issues rarely show up as line items on a P&L\, they directly affect productivity\, retention\, and overall business performance. \nThrough real-world examples and practical insights\, this program helps leaders connect culture to measurable outcomes and identify where breakdowns are quietly costing the organization time\, money\, and momentum. Attendees will walk away with a clearer understanding of how to recognize these patterns and practical ways to strengthen accountability\, communication\, and team effectiveness across their organization.\nRodney W. Querry\, CEO and Chief Human Resources Officer\, The Arcue Group\, LLC \n

SUMMARY:Energy SIG: AI’s Economic Impact Starts With Infrastructure: Data Centers\, Power Investment\, and the Macroeconomic Outlook 
DESCRIPTION:While artificial intelligence is often discussed in terms of productivity and jobs\, recent macroeconomic research shows that its near-term economic impact is being driven primarily by capital investment—particularly data centers\, power infrastructure\, and energy-intensive equipment. Drawing on Moody’s AI macroeconomic scenarios\, this session examines how AI is reshaping growth through physical investment\, how rising infrastructure and energy costs can influence inflation and regional competitiveness\, and why energy availability is becoming a critical factor in where AI-driven economic growth ultimately occurs \nSohini Chowdhurry | FRM / Senior Director\, Moody’s Analytics \n  \nLearning Objectives: \nBy the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\nExplain how AI’s recent contribution to economic growth is being driven primarily by demand-side channels\, especially business investment and wealth effects\, rather than broad productivity gains to date.\nDescribe the paper’s decomposition of AI-driven growth that includes investment tied to data centers and “electric power construction\,” and why this matters for the near-term macro outlook.\nIdentify why measured GDP can understate AI’s true investment footprint due to accounting/measurement challenges around vertically integrated infrastructure and own-account investment.\nCompare the paper’s scenario framework (baseline and alternatives) and articulate how different AI adoption paths change outcomes for GDP\, inflation\, jobs\, and financial markets.\nAssess how AI-related investment can pressure economy-wide input costs-including energy and construction-related costs-creating potential headwinds for non-AI sectors in downside scenarios.\nTranslate these scenario-based macro outcomes into implications for business planning (capital allocation\, cost of capital\, and risk management) for firms exposed to large-scale infrastructure buildouts.\n\n  \nSCHEDULE \n4:30 – 5:00 p.m. Check-in & Networking \n5:00 – 5:30 p.m. Hors d’oeuvres and Cocktails \n5:30 – 6:30 p.m. Program | 1 CPE in Information Technology \n  \nSTRATEGIC INVESTORS \nUSI \nWhitley Penn \nMoody’s \n  \nREGISTRATION \nRegistration deadline | Friday 4/3/26 \nOpen to FEI Dallas members and non-members with financial or executive roles in the energy sector.
