When Issues Do Not Go Away: Managing Long-Running Narrative Risk
March 31, 2026
In an always on media and policy landscape, some issues never fully disappear. Instead, they linger, resurface, and evolve to reshape reputation, trust, and stakeholder perception long after the initial issue has passed. Your brand is no longer what you say. It is what AI summarizes about you. In a panel hosted by AIcorespot, Clay Helm and fellow executives from Microsoft and AbbVie explore how to proactively govern long running narrative risk.
