B2B vs. B2C marketing, internal vs. external communications, public affairs vs. business communications – these are typical examples of the binaries that have long dominated the communications landscape. As the industry evolves, many professionals are recognizing that these binaries contribute to siloed organizations – and less effective communications across a complex array of external and internal stakeholders. To propel organizations forward during uncertain and challenging times, we must focus on building our skills around more matrixed and fully integrated approaches to communications.In today's episode, we are joined by Peter Gudritz, Global Director, Business & Marketing Communications, Global Public Affairs at Dow. With a distinguished career in public affairs and communications, particularly focused on sustainability – including work at the Wildlife Conservation Society and other NGOs – Peter shares the skill sets (and mindsets!) required for communications leaders to adopt a holistic approach that helps build matrixed, resilient organizations, This includes embracing nuance and learning to act as integrators. We also discuss:How integrating policy insights with robust internal communications can support employees in their role as brand ambassadors and key stakeholdersThe critical role of resilience, adaptability, and strategic communications in aligning a vast, matrixed organization around sustainable innovation as a message and a missionThe necessity of multi-stakeholder engagement in solving complex challenges such as in the areas of energy, climate or waste reductionBalancing qualitative and quantitative metrics to measure communication effectivenessBrands that currently have “gravity” for Peter including a book and podcast recommendation: The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness, by Jonathan Haid, and Hard Fork Podcast by The New York Times.

Len Khodorkovsky is an American story. The same story repeated through generations of Jewish history. This one comes from today's Ukraine where in 1981, young Len and his refusenik parents and grandparents fled the Soviet Union bound for the USA. The poignancy of this is, of course, there'll be another Len, barely a teenager trying to escape Ukraine as we speak - destination unknown - just heading west. Len served at the US State Department as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Global Public Affairs. He was also a Senior Advisor to the US Special Representative for Iran and the Chief Marketing Officer of America's economic diplomacy. It was his two decades as an advertising executive which led to this extraordinary period. And it's this creative approach which he says gave the Trump administration a greater dynamic to problem-solve than the more conservative, risk averse diplomatic column. He holds up the Abraham Accords as a prime example of that dynamism. Our conversation is rich in life experience, anecdotes and takeaways. LISTEN to how he's returning to media to produce a lasting legacy for the Accords with a new TV channel called Yalla.

Public diplomacy in the era of President Trump has been a subject of much conjecture. It has focused, to a great extent, on the president’s promise to “Make America Great Again” and how that idea is received around the world. Yet, little factual information has come out about the significant changes in Public Diplomacy’s place within the Department of State. Under Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, streamlining and reorganization has been taking place. Most notably, State’s Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs Bureaus have merged to form a Bureau of Global Public Affairs, whose mission is simultaneously to “serve the American people by effectively communicating U.S. foreign policy priorities and the importance of diplomacy to American audiences, and engaging foreign publics to enhance their understanding of and support for the values and policies of the United States.” Furthermore, some priorities have shifted to align priorities with President Trump’s National Security Strategy. In order to examine and analyze these changes, The Heritage Foundation will host a discussion with some of the key players in the Trump Administration’s Public Diplomacy work.

Chapter 1

The Trudeau government is leaking political support in the wake of the resignation of its former justice minister, making its chances of re-election this fall far less certain than they seemed to be at year's end, according to a new poll provided exclusively to Global News. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's personal approval ratings are down; a declining number of Canadians think his government deserves re-election; and Andrew Scheer's Conservatives narrowly lead the Liberals on the ballot box question. Guest: Darrell Bricker Chief Executive Officer, Global Public Affairs, IPSOS

Our guests are professionals at Global Public Affairs. And we just met! Rod Elliot, Senior Vice President,  and Alanna Sokic, a Research Analyst out of their Toronto division, have the attention of the ears of some politicians and provide guided expertise through Cannabis Connect for organizations navigating their way through Canada’s legalization and regulation processes. These folks know how to scramble to get a point of order together, to lobby governments, and to have it absorbed into social policy. Luckily for me, their look down the road of Canadian cannabis legalization is not as dark as mine. I hope they prove me wrong across the board. We sure did turn over a lot of questions to get to some good resolution. Visit them online at www.globalpublicaffairs.ca and on Twitter @GPAinsights and @cannabisCNCT

The May 2015 election of Premier Rachel Notley in Alberta has represented a significant shift in the tone, priorities and style of the provincial government. At the federal level, the Justin Trudeau-led Liberals came to power last year as well. Both governments are putting a priority on gender parity and diversity. "Because it’s 2016" was the simple rationale that the Prime Minister responded to when asked about the diversity of his first Cabinet. At the October 2016 IABC Edmonton professional development session, Kristin Anderson of Global Public Affairs spoke about the impact the shifts at both the federal and provincial levels mean for government relations practitioners, with a unique lens on what it means for women in the industry. She she also talked about how organizations, be they project proponents or not-for-profits, can strategically approach governments to achieve positive outcomes in this new paradigm.

This conference seeks to examine these critical questions in an expansive way, drawing together scholars from a number of different subfields in political science as well By bringing together former government officials, leading legal scholars and political scientists with a range of backgrounds and perspectives, this conference hopes to present a systematic, balanced analysis of the proper place of the president in the political system. The conference itself will examine what role the courts, Congress, and the public have played in checking presidential actions historically, and what role they should play in the Iraq War and beyond in a world where the opponent in a military conflict may not be a sovereign state.
