12 month anniversary of Page Turner
Posted on April 24, 2009 | 10 Comments
As the Authentic Enterprise pointed out, technology has created an interconnected world where speed becomes of the essence. We can see examples of this everywhere we turn -- as new channels not even thought of when the Arthur W. Page Society began work on the paper demand a response time measured in minutes and seconds. Domino Pizza and McNeil PPC, maker of Motrin, are just two of the more high-profile companies to have learned that in recent months. In this environment where a month can seem like forever, a year is an eternity.

It Seemed So Promising

Carlos Gutierrez, former US Secretary of Commerce and former chief executive of the Kellogg Company, addressed the spring session of the Arthur Page Society on Friday. His message was extremely positive; he had learned the importance of having communications professionals at the decision-making table while in government, and intended to take that lesson back to the private sector. Yet later in his remarks he made a further commitment, to a centralized system of communications and simplicity of message, thereby undermining his purpose in making PR a true partner.
Secretary Gutierrez began by recommending a key role…
“PR Didn’t Help” the Financial Crisis says Gasparino; oh yeah, and “Jon Stewart is full of shit”
Posted on April 09, 2009 | 3 Comments
Charlie Gasparino, financial journalist and CNBC on-air editor, ruffled some feathers this past Thursday when he presented on the Day One afternoon of the 2009 Spring Seminar. Was it because:
A) He dismissed the Page Principles as not worth reading before his session, despite the request…”I imagine there is something on the list about not bullshitting people,” he commented – nice guess Charlie, the No. 1 Page principle is Tell The Truth - you nailed one, almost.
B) He painted the profession as widely disconnected from any policy creation role at the companies they…
Authenticity, Frequent Information, Open Conversation

"In bad times, good practices tend to emerge while in good times bad practices often form," Ron Kirkpatrick, National Manager, Executive/Internal Communications for Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc., told about 150 people at the Arthur W. Page Society's Spring Seminar in New York City last week.
Kirkpatrick was part of a panel I facilitated titled, "The Global Financial Crisis: The Employee Perspective," which focused on the
implications of today's economic crisis on the workforce. The panel also featured Juanita James, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer at Pitney Bowes (PB).
James spoke about…
Keeping Employees Engaged During A Crisis. . .And Every Day

Nearly 25 years ago, I was the first person hired at Pitney Bowes to focus primarily on external communications. Upon my arrival, I found the best internal communications infrastructure available at that time, even though employee communications director Bob Strickland continually suggested ways it could be even better. After last week's panel discussion at the Page Spring Seminar, I am more convinced than ever that Pitney Bowes has masterfully woven employee communications into its DNA.
Noting that the way an organization treats its people is a driver of its reputation, Edelman's Gary Grates nicely…
Innovation is the Imperative

The second session of the day featured Vijay Vaitheeswaram, a correspondent for the Economist, commenting on the challenge of sustaining value in a drastically altered economy.
Even with the unraveling of the Reagan/Thatcher era In today's economic situation, he said, the real issue that history will focus on 100 years from now will be how the world dealt with the rise of the developing economies - especially those of the BRIC countries. With a billion and a half people in these countries about to enter the middle class at the…
Live from the 2009 Spring Seminar former U.S. Comptroller General David M. Walker
Posted on April 02, 2009 | 0 Comments
Former U.S. Comptroller General David M. Walker kicked off the Arthur W. Page Society’s annual Spring Seminar with a strong warning about the U.S. government’s fiscal condition, likening it to the U.S. mortgage industry prior to the current financial crisis. With a negative net worth of $11 trillion, another $45 trillion of off-balance-sheet unfunded obligations, and trillions more of debt on the way, the government’s debt over the long term creates a risk of a loss of confidence in the government’s ability to service its debt, a flight…
