During the best of times, seeking win-win scenarios with all stakeholders requires commitment and creativity. Enter the extreme challenge of managing business during a pandemic, and business leaders might be struggling with how to continue managing their relationships and decisions pertaining to various stakeholders. 

To explore how companies are staying innovative to ensure that stakeholders not only survive but thrive, we are bringing in three veterans in managing stakeholder relationships. First, Professor Ed Freeman who is also known as the father of stakeholder theory as he literally wrote the book on it, will be sharing his perspective on how the pandemic is accelerating a shift to greater stakeholder management. Then, two practitioners, Ralph Carlton, Co-CEO of King Arthur Flour and Rob Waldron, CEO of Curriculum Associates, will discuss how they are collaborating with their various stakeholders during COVID.
