REPUTATIONAL CHALLENGES & OPPORTUNITIES - Panel & Q&A
09.30 Seize Comms Opportunities To Reframe The Narrative & Boost Company Reputation Across Key Pharma Stakeholders Within The Lens Of A Rapidly-Changing World
- We’re in a changing world! To what extent do healthcare budget squeezes, swinging political affiliations, volatile supply chains, new governments and wider worldwide events shape the overall perception of the industry – and how can we positively influence that?
- Safeguard against profiteering finger-pointing: enhance your voice and presence on key societal and welfare issues to continue to justify the investment in healthcare and be seen as critical partners to public health
- All tarred with the same brush? Cultivate a strong company presence to break away from a single industry perception when there is a negative incident or crisis elsewhere in the sector
- When many elements of the pharma industry are built on commercial sensitivity and intellectual property, how can we balance holding our cards close to our chest with an openness and transparency that consumers have come to expect from business?
- Reputation stagnation: explore opportunities to reframe the sector and shift certain lingering prejudices from the last 20 years
