How is IR changing? The truth is that IR varies so much across different countries, industries, and companies, there’s no short answer. To get a broader overview of the trends in IR, we welcomed an experienced IR journalist to this episode.
An Outside Perspective of IR Today
Laurie Havelock, Editor of IR Impact (formerly IR Magazine), shares his unique journalistic perspective on covering IR stories and industry insights for over 12 years.
We begin by taking a walk through Laurie’s career and the biggest changes he’s noticed in IR since he first began. He’s seen shifting markets, the rise of digitisation and AI, regulatory changes, and regional differences impact IR over the past few years and explains how IROs have adapted.
Laurie also breaks down some of the most interesting points from IR Impact’s recent research on international IR, including the biggest differences between Asian, North American, and European markets. You’ll also hear about research into IR skills, preferences for capital markets days, and why face-to-face events and roadshows are still a big focus, even in the age of virtual communication.
