“If there „s one truism that you can bank on it‟s this:
the most important currency of the 21st century is
trust. However trust requires openness. The more
you share and the more you listen, the more you will
be trusted. However becoming an open business is
truly challenging. (…)”
Steve Rubel, SVP/Director of Insights for Edelman Digital
