TCIP #018 – The Truth About Transparency With Jean-Michel Ghoussoub
Everybody’s always talking about transparency. We always hear things like: You need to be transparent in the way you communicate with your stakeholders, both internal and external – both in and out of a crisis. And though this statement is very true, what does it actually mean?
How can you go about developing and implementing a corporate culture that is truly transparent, and what are the repercussions of not doing this?
Within this episode of The Crisis Intelligence Podcast, Jean-Michel Ghoussoub, owner and VP of client service of the interactive agency, U92, in Montreal, and I discuss how an interconnected world imposes transparency and how those who don’t understand this are bound to deal with crisis management on a regular basis. It’s a great listen. Enjoy it here!
