From the Centre - Our Blog

From the Centre is your blog update from the Centre for Corporate Public Affairs. Contributions are penned by Centre Director Wayne Burns, who is a former senior corporate affairs executive, journalist, political adviser & author and by Senior Analyst George Onisiforou.

This blog will look at regularly topical and prescient issues that go to the management of public affairs in corporations and organisations, as well as how issues management, corporate social responsibility, corporate reputation stewardship, stakeholder engagement, corporate ethics and corporate communications affect the community.

From time to time, we'll also look at issues like employee engagement with their workplaces, the impact of new media and peer-to-peer networks on large organisations and how companies are shaping public policy.
