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.

 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.
