Event Overview

How will attendees benefit

All too often, organizations kid themselves that an agreed message house, a robust Q&A, clear issues management protocols and a crisis manual means they are ready to manage reputational risk. Sadly, they sometimes forget one crucial element – the human imperative. Attendees will learn tips, tools and techniques to help them ensure that basic human needs, wants, values, and beliefs sit at the core of how they manage and mitigate reputational risk.

Drawing on a 25-year career in issues and crisis management, the session will combine extensive real-world examples with elements of behavioral psychology, leadership communication and storytelling, to balance provocation and stimulation with constant practicality.
