Today, Alexander Jutkowitz, the Penta Board Chair, and Beth Comstock, Board Member at Penta, and the former Vice Chair of General Electric, join Penta President Matt McDonald on the inaugural episode of What's At Stake: A Penta Podcast.
On the show, the group talks about the rising difficulty businesses, especially at the leadership level, are facing in solving the challenges presented by, and managing the risk of, an increasingly engaged group of stakeholders. Additionally, they discuss how businesses that are thinking about engaging their stakeholders on a regular basis are the ones best prepared to navigate unexpected crises.
Matt, Beth, and Alexander explain how this opportunity in the marketplace spurred the idea for Penta. As the world's first comprehensive stakeholder solutions firm, Penta provides data-driven solutions for stakeholder strategy and engagement. Penta will combine analytics and research with deep expertise to deliver actionable insights, "best practice" solutions, and drive measurable impact for our clients.
Talking about the importance of both data and advising based on it, the group discusses how Penta will provide unparalleled impact with its intelligence and strategy offerings. Through sophisticated data collection and analysis, Penta Intelligence will deliver clear insights that help make sense of a complicated world. Penta strategy will help clients make sense of the events motivating stakeholders and driving public discourse. Together, these services will help our clients to define, inform, and strengthen decision-making and understanding between businesses and their stakeholders.
