Listen "Jacob Lund Nielsen - Public Affairs: From a Firefighter to a Business Enabler?"
Episode Synopsis
"Public Affairs - from a firefighter to a business enabler?" - this is the topic in this episode of the Persuaders Podcast - the only podcast only about Public Affairs... In this episode we cover one of the biggest challenges in the Public Affairs departments across Europe right now: How Public Affairs can earn legitimacy. To explore this topic, I have invited Jacob Lund Nielsen in to the studio. Jacob Lund Nielsen has a long and impressive career in Brussels especially known for founding Cabinet DN, his time at Teneo as well as Rud Pedersen - Jacob is a founder, CEO and advisor. In the podcast we discuss: - Why Public Affairs is stuck in some organisations - and what are the signs? - Being typecast - born out crisis - why does this become a problem? - The lack of business skills in Public Affairs - How has Public Affairs evolved as a function (and discipline) in organizations? Including the relationship to Comms - What has changed in society and internally in organizations that call for changes in Public Affairs? - How can Public Affairs become a business enabler? What happens if it doesn't? - KPIs and measuring - a necessary evil to earn legitimacy? Hope you will enjoy the episode as much as we did.
