Bastion Reputation

Sydney business leaders last Thursday had the opportunity to hear from Bastion Reputation research findings on how can businesses navigate and thrive in a new era of uncertainty. Business Sydney in collaboration Bastion Reputation held a reception for 100 business leaders to discuss ‘How can businesses navigate and thrive in a new era of uncertainty?' Scott Thompson Bastion Reputations Chief Strategy Officer presented his thoughts on the new era of uncertainty businesses are facing now and into the future. 2024 will be a year of ballots and bullets. The elections held in more than 70 countries will serve as a stress test for the democratic system, and the impact of the multiple conflicts stoking global instability will shape a world in the throes of a global power shift and a clear regression in terms of humanitarianism and fundamental rights. Sydney Lead Director for Bastion Reputation Tess Salmon conducted a thought provoking panel discussion on the changing public sentiment and posed the question to an expert panel of leaders, who agreed the value of authentic leadership can never be underestimated in dealing with challenges especially when uncertainty now seems more likely. The panel consisted of the following: ⭐️ Shane Fitzsimmons AO AFSM former New South Wales Rural Fire Service Commissioner and Head of Resilience NSW ⭐️ Libby Mudie (Armstrong) former Group GM Media & Corporate Affairs at Crown Resorts ⭐️ Chris O'Keefe Channel Nine Political Journalist & 2GB Drive Radio Host ⭐️ Paul Nicolaou Executive Director of Business Sydney The key take aways from the discussion were the importance of leading with empathy, being prepared for the worst, building resilience, and fostering a culture of transparency and trust with the people who matter most – your stakeholders, investors, partners, customers, community and importantly your employees and where relevant, the media! It was wonderful to see so many engaged guests in the room of esteemed business and government leaders - familiar faces and new connections. Thank you Scott Thompson, Tess Salmon and the team at Bastion Reputation for the collaboration. #sydney #reputation #uncertainty #future #stakeholders #media #researchfindings #community #collaboration #welovesydney

It was our pleasure to host a business networking event in partnership with Business Sydney late last week with a room full of exceptional government and business leaders from across the Harbour City. The evening was framed around the question, are we entering a new era of uncertainty?   Driven by a new report by Bastion Insights an expert panel was assembled to discuss the question and consider how business and government can manage risk and reputation in the current climate. Chaired by our Sydney head Tess Salmon, we were joined by Shane Fitzsimmons AO AFSM, Chris O'Keefe, Libby Mudie (Armstrong) and our host for the event, the exceptional Paul Nicolaou from Business Sydney.    It was an enjoyable evening of conversation, fuelled by Indigiearth’s exquisite native cuisine.   We can’t wait for the next one! A huge shoutout to Pierce and the team at Business Sydney and our team of Sally Taylor Tim Artlett Tiarna Henry for helping make it all happen and to Mr Roses Australia for the beautiful flowers in the room.
