Participants value the Hugo Panel for its insight into the whole business operating environment: the international economy, the Australian economy, the domestic economy and sectoral trends, political trends and Government policy (particularly affecting business) and industrial relations.

They also value the confidential briefings by leading ministers, opposition politicians, policymakers and business experts. And they value the succinct regular written briefings and the availability of Hugo experts for informal consultation.
