the reputation continuum's role (the other 90%)
Using the knowledge of a business ‘insider’ combined with our experience with lawyers, regulators and agencies we help companies navigate reputation issues along the entire continuum, to minimise disruption and the commercial damage caused by
reputation loss.
the biggest risk comes from within
In our experience, the biggest risk for companies with a reputation issue comes from within the organisation. Structure and internal process are not geared towards driving effective response strategy at the rapid pace dictated by the unfolding issue. When combined with flawed preparation, this lack of agility is a major contributor to the commercial damage that comes from reputation loss.
We’ll work with you to build a response framework to navigate unexpected events or issues that create uncertainty and put your reputation, and therefore your business, at risk.
The model relies on you having great legal, PR, marketing and advertising partners in place with the expertise to support you as specific issues arise. And a great internal team that you need to prepare, motivate and equip for the journey ahead.
the goal is synchronisation
Our role as navigator is to help you synchronise the efforts of your internal team and your trusted partners. With the result of enabling them to work simultaneously on achieving the right outcomes to address the issue at hand, as well as the long game, while staying true to your purpose.
