awps-logoMembers of the Arthur W. Page Society — the professional association for senior PR and corporate communication executives — have been busy. Following the 2007 release of “The Authentic Enterprise,” the society introduced a new model that “describes the distinctly valuable enterprise leadership role that communications plays” within the radical transformations taking place throughout the worlds of business, including digital page_modeltransformation, increased transparency expectations, and unstoppable globalization. This introduction of this new model (at right) was followed by the release of a white paper on “The New CCO: Transforming Enterprises in a Changing World.” With the white paper under their belt, the Society is undertaking a new long-term study into “Corporate Character: How Leading Companies are Defining, Activating & Aligning Values.”

Page Society President Roger Bolton joins host Shel Holtz to discuss these three endeavors — the new model, the CCO report, and the corporate character study — and what communicators can learn from them.

Also, the FIR Podcast Network welcomes Thornley Fallis Communications as the sponsor of FIR Interviews.
