Emerging industries are quickly re-shaping the economic and political landscape. From self-driving cars to alternative currency, to on-demand services and state-legal medical and recreational cannabis, governments, business, and industry have to keep up. As these products revolutionize the markets, the impacts are extensive in ways we might not even realize yet.Through it all, governments and companies face challenges to interpret or change existing laws and rules to meet changing consumer demands. Achieving this depends on creative communication strategies delivered by nimble public affairs leaders.
