In an uncertain and globalized world, global public affairs leaders need to act strategically and have a keen understanding of business risks and the socio-political environment. This half-day seminar will provide an overarching perspective on how to identify, assess, communicate and manage global risks. You’ll hear from public affairs peers, academics and corporate leaders.
Featured Topic & Speakers
This half-day seminar will provide participants with strategic insights, case studies and practical tips during four complementary sessions.
- Session 1: The Geopolitics of Global Risk – Trends, Challenges and Opportunities
- Gain an understanding of global risks, how they can impact your company or industry, and the main threats companies are facing today.
- Session 2: The Next Threat – Identifying Global Risks Before They Become Crises
- Learn how to use data, digital tools and innovative approaches to ensure your team – and your company – are incorporating present and potential threats into strategic planning.
- Session 3: Communicating Political Risk in Business Terms
- Translating political risk into language that resonates with other teams and top leadership is critical. Learn to promote internal understanding of issues on the horizon and get buy-in to mitigate them.
- Session 4: Managing and Addressing Global Risks – Strategic Approaches for Public Affairs Leaders
- Bring geopolitical considerations, risk assessment and internal communications together in a global strategy. Learn how to empower public affairs teams to lead their company’s efforts to mitigate and address global risks – across geographies, cultures and teams.
