A three-day masterclass for developing your awareness of issues management and public affairs at corporate level. These two functions are the windows through which society looks in, observes and frames the corporation. They are also windows through which the corporation looks out onto the outside world, and from this view, construct its understanding of society. You will develop a working knowledge of best practices in the management of issues and public affairs. This will help you to secure the corporation’s ‘societal licence to operate’ and to integrate its market and nonmarket strategies.
You will explore high-profile business case studies, start to benchmark internal routines for global practices, and enrich your toolkit and vocabulary with concepts and practical insights from leading companies.
Who should attend
The masterclass is designed for experienced professionals in corporate communication, public affairs, general management, and consultancy.
This executive-level masterclass offers professionals a highly flexible learning experience that fosters leadership, strategic thinking and corporate responsibility.
