The relationship between business and government has changed dramatically. At the same time, companies and associations are facing unprecedented economic and political pressures. Let's recap:

• Companies are facing increased scrutiny from Congress, the White House, the media, organized labor and public interest groups.
• The regulatory environment is dramatically shifting.
• Shareholders are frustrated and fearful - and often angry.
• Government has already intervened in the basic business functions of many firms.

In this environment, it's more important than ever to manage your public policy issues
and your reputation before you face a crisis.

But to do that, you need to have a plan.
Join us to create yours.

This how-to seminar gives participants an overview of the cutting-edge techniques and tools currently used in successful Issues Management programs. We'll review the basics, examine and compare seasoned IM programs, explore how recent global changes will affect your strategy, and teach you how to better predict which small issues may become big problems for your organization.

Through peer-to-peer learning, you'll get an inside look at the Issues Management operations in some of the nation's leading corporations and consultancies.

Stick around for our case study exercise! In this interactive session, our facilitator will walk you through an Issues Management case study, showing you the specific steps it takes to build a high-performance Issues Management program. Take this plan back to your office to help build or improve your existing IM program.

Don't allow someone else to guide your organization's future.
Take control of the unprecedented challenges facing business today.
