Aim for the Zone of Constructive Engagement

When leadership is surprised by new external confrontation, a gut-reaction response is natural, but can be very costly. This 12-page paper helps you better anticipate the challenge and take stock of the true costs and implications so that your organization’s response is more rational. Five strategic stances are explored, three of which represent constructive engagement with critics. The paper closes with a few questions to ask yourself as you navigate the turbulence.

Issue Management: A Primer

In an operating environment that is always under scrutiny and susceptible to viral comment, the CEO-centric business model that generates short-term shareholder value at the expense of other strategic stakeholders is now obsolete. The new paradigm demands that there be “no surprises” and that corporate policies “do no harm” in an arena that increasingly offers “no place to hide.”

This 12-page paper introduces the concept of Issue Management and identifies the principal participants. It describes the issue life cycle and illustrates an example of a weekly workflow including inputs and deliverables and continues with an evolution of Issue Management considering four levels of public interface. To close, the authors suggest operational requirements that characterize a strategically relevant global Issue Management process.
