Introduction: Why Alignment Matters More Than Ever
Asia’s fast-moving, fragmented markets demand corporate public affairs teams that are agile, aligned, and integrated into business decision-making. Organizations lacking a structured approach face:
✅ Regulatory Volatility: Reactive strategies fail in the face of sudden ESG mandates and geopolitical shifts.
✅ Stakeholder Complexity: Governments, NGOs, and communities demand tailored engagement—generic approaches backfire.
✅ Business Integration Challenges: Siloed corporate affairs teams struggle to influence C-suite decisions or align with enterprise-wide goals.
Corporate public affairs teams that operate in isolation risk misalignment, reduced influence, and reputational challenges.
