Q2 Chaos and the 90 Day Review

In this episode of Communication Breakdown, hosts Steve Dowling and Craig Carroll discuss the evolving role of Chief Communications Officers (CCOs) in navigating the complexities of corporate communication amidst a chaotic environment. They emphasize the necessity of conducting 90-day reviews to reset strategies, align internal and external messaging, and proactively manage crises. The conversation highlights the importance of influence mapping, understanding shifting power dynamics, and balancing high-impact execution with structural alignment to effectively shape narratives and maintain corporate reputation.

Takeaways

  • Chaos is the new normal; CCOs need structured responses.
  • High impact execution is crucial for visible wins
  • Regular assessments of stakeholder influence are necessary.
  • Not all wins are headline-grabbing; quiet wins matter too.
