Description

Trust is the most powerful force underlying the success of every business. Yet it can be shattered in an instant, with a devastating impact on a company’s market cap and reputation. How to build and sustain trust requires fresh insight into why customers, employees, community members, and investors decide whether an organization can be trusted.

Join us on Tuesday, November 30th from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm ET for a conversation moderated by Kathleen Harrington Clark (MBA 1990) followed by audience Q&A with internationally recognized trust researcher and Harvard Business School Professor Sandra J. Sucher and coauthor Shalene Gupta about their new book, The Power of Trust: How Companies Build It, Lose It, Regain It (PublicAffairs, July 2021). Based on two decades of research, Sandra J. Sucher and Shalene Gupta examine the economic impact of trust and the science behind it, to prove that trust is built from the inside out. The result? A new understanding of the business, economic, and societal importance of trust and how to regain it once lost.

Participants must register by NOON on November 29th to receive details on joining the discussion. The Zoom link will be sent out 24 hours before the event.

Please note that no refunds will be issued.
