Before the Story Breaks

On Wednesday 12 August, The Argonauts Series launched its Comms Series with an Open Boardroom bringing together senior communicators, a former federal minister, a crisis-comms specialist, a former CEO of a major healthcare company, a principal of marketing in one of the major telcos and a national cartoonist, amongst others, to confront one uncomfortable question: in a world of permanent crisis, how do Australia's leaders and organisations stay ahead of the next reputation crisis, rather than react to it after the fact?
