Highlights from our webinar on the Evolution of Public Affairs from an EU perspective
On Thursday 5th November Hanson Search hosted a panel event to explore the Evolving role of Public Affairs within the EU.
Over decades, the scope and approach to Public Affairs have been shaped by constantly changing environments.
Coming a long way, Public Affairs has finally won its place at the table. Previously seen as a service unit, Public Affairs has demonstrated the value-add to businesses, helping them to become trusted partners to governments. Public Affairs can not only protect a company’s reputation but also expand its business and creating a sustainable environment.
We gathered a diverse panel of industry experts to discuss the trends impacting the function, from transparency to activism and digital science; and to share their insights and points of view on the state of play of Public Affairs and its future.
Featuring our expert panel:
- Markus Weidling, Partner at Interel Berlin, Germany
- Andras Baneth, Managing Director at the Public Affairs Council, European Office, Belgium
- Piero Crivellaro, Head of Public Affairs at Amazon Milan, Italy
- Louise Harvey, Non-Executive Chair of the FTI Consulting Strategic Communications practice, Brussels
In our discussion they explored the following:
- How the role of Public Affairs has changed
- What positive trends have impacted Public Affairs
- How to structure a PA function from a business leader point of view
- Diversity in the industry, a work in progress
