In a world where the pace of change is accelerating and the level of complexity is increasing, effective communication becomes more and more important for both organizations and CEOs. Therefore, the role of the trusted communications advisor to the CEO has never been more business-critical. However, there is only limited research-based knowledge on the professional practice of the trusted communications advisor and her relationship and collaboration with the CEO.In this research-based business book, we draw on research – both our own and others’ – as our point of departure for describing the role and practice of the trusted communications advisor. And we combine this with extensive practical experience within the communications profession. Consequently, this book is relevant for both professional communications advisors as well as communications students and teachers engaged in strategic organisational communication, management communication and the role and practice of the communications advisor.The Communications Advisor falls into two parts: A theoretical perspective outlines the theoretical foundation for the book and our research project, and A practical perspective provides input on how to work strategically on becoming a trusted communications advisor to the CEO in practice.The authors – research meets practiceGitte Gravengaard, Communications Scholar, University of CopenhagenGitte Gravengaard (1973-2022) was Associate Professor, PhD, at the Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics at the University of Copenhagen.

Corporate Values and Responsibility gives a flavour of the Danish landscape when it comes to corporate values and social responsibility. The ambition is to indicate the status of the Danish corporate agenda from political, corporate, academic and media perspectives.  Many Danish companies regard values and social responsibility as a "normal" element of their corporate strategy. Denmark is part of an international movement towards combining economic and social values. Danish companies have reached far on these issues.  The 26 authors of this book reflect this diversity. One of them is Professor Peter Pruzan. He has been an inspiration, collaborator and critical voice for Danish and international companies, NGOs, academics and the media throughout the last 20 years on issues of corporate values and responsibility.
