Guest: Conall McDevitt, President, The Penta Group
When Donald Trump called on Apple to end its DEI policies, it put a spotlight on the growing tensions between business leaders, investors, and policymakers. Despite shareholder backing, Apple now found itself at the center of a stakeholder battle, between its investors and the President of the United States of America.
In this episode of Enterprise Explores, Conall McDevitt, President of The Penta Group, unpacks the complexities of stakeholder management and how businesses can navigate competing pressures. He breaks down Penta’s strategic framework for prioritising stakeholder concerns, managing crises, and turning stakeholder tensions into a competitive advantage.
From regulatory risks to public scrutiny, we explore why businesses must go beyond instinct and use data-driven insights to anticipate stakeholder reactions. We also discuss how social media, AI, and globalised cultural shifts are reshaping corporate decision-making, and why understanding your stakeholders is no longer optional, but essential.
