Risk and resilience in a world of accelerating change

The Global Risks Report 2021 from the World Economic Forum (WEF) didn’t mince words, declaring that “the immediate human and economic cost of COVID-19 is severe.”

Among the profound and still unfolding consequences cited by the report was a growing digital dependency, rapidly accelerating automation, and information suppression and manipulation.

In recommending that organizations build better pathways for managing new, unknown risk and enhancing resilience, the WEF urged them to make it a priority to improve risk communications and combat misinformation.

That process is already underway at many organizations. In the wake of the pandemic and global social justice protests, corporate boards and leadership teams have embraced new forms of agile communication and revisited the role their company values play in critical business decisions.

Communications leaders have found themselves thrust into a vital role of identifying and mitigating risks, adopting new ways to share information internally and externally, and shepherding their organization’s brand purpose safely through this new era of accelerated change.

During this webinar, we uncover how today’s communicators view the current risk landscape based upon the findings of our Communications Leaders Risk Survey.
