On the eve of the last General Assembly in Lisbon, on the 21st and 22nd February 2024, the LSE and WiD POIESIS members organised the second POIESIS expert workshop, this time with a focus on dynamics of recovering public trust and reputation after a crisis in different contexts.
To discuss why public trust is actually important in real life scenarios and how to rebuild it after a scandal or another kind of internal crisis, the workshop brought together six international experts with academic and corporate backgrounds and POIESIS members from different institutions. For two half days, they discussed national and international case studies each of the experts presented. The case studies ranged from crises in private companies to public universities and inspired interesting comparisons of different dynamics and mechanisms of crisis management and communication.
Discussions were lively and fruitful and will not only inspire further reflections for the work of POIESIS but also certainly lead to a common publication led by the POIESIS team.
