Intersections are 30-minute conversations bringing together experts from across business functions to explore the issues shaping innovation and decision-making at the world’s leading companies.

In this inaugural episode, Jan Botz and Bill Black, Program Directors of the Internal Communications and Government Relations Councils, will discuss the intersection of communications and government relations — two functions increasingly linked by rising stakeholder expectations, political complexity, and the need for integrated corporate strategy.

Drawing on themes emerging from recent Conference Board Council meetings, they will examine:

• Where collaboration is working
• Where friction exists
• What organizations can learn from a more connected approach
