International Leadership & The Expanding Remit of the CCO

Recent history has brought difficult issues with international implications, many landing at the doorstep of the CCO. Navigating a pandemic and all its attendant challenges; global economic volatility and threats to democracy; rising alarms on the irrevocability of climate change and its increasingly prevalent effects; exiting Russia amid sanctions -- these events have shown that the CCO must have an international mindset, even in organizations without a global footprint. They have simultaneously created opportunities for a remit beyond the communication domain, seeing CCOs step up on everything from ESG/sustainability, brand and culture to transformation, human resources and public affairs.

The CCO is at an inflection point, the dawn of a new era of essential leadership in a multistakeholder world. Join us for the 2024 Page Spring Seminar in Paris, an international city whose history and culture will be an ideal backdrop for a global agenda.

Bio

As a former President of Poland, Alexsander Kwasniewski truly understands that the art of managing multi-stakeholder relationships is at the core of effective global leadership. Whether shepherding a country in transition from communism, negotiating complex international agreements, navigating complex political relationships with controversial world leaders, overseeing international publications as editor-in-chief or chairing the European Council on Tolerance and Reconciliation, he has faced a myriad of multi-stakeholder dilemmas, opportunities, and challenges. In this opening session, he will share his experiences as a global leader, insights from the 10 years he spent transforming a communist country to a modern society integrated into Read morethe world, and provide perspectives on how to build an environment where people who have vastly different motives and objectives can come together to create extraordinary results.
Page member, Margery Kraus, founder and executive chairman of APCO Worldwide, will guide us through a fireside chat to understand the complexity and dynamics of leadership in this multi-stakeholder world.
