Reputation Management

Reputation is an intangible asset, and an extraordinarily complex phenomenon. The nature of a reputation depends upon everything the organisation does as an entity, and particularly the signals and the messages it chooses to communicate to its various stakeholders.

The symbol of that reputation, the corporate name, when well-managed, represents the organisation favourably, and is particularly valuable in doing so to its customers. We help to build a business’s reputation from the inside out, based on our unique 8-pillar methodology.

We share and impart skills with organisations and their teams, create workshops, create training programmes, and advisory services to grow skills in-house. We also run workshops on the concept of reputation management and the critical role it plays in the daily operations of an organisation.

Crisis Management

What happens when a disruptive and unforeseen event threatens to harm your organisation? Crisis management is the process of creating and applying strategies to help the organisation minimise the damage of an emergency.

In any crisis, there are broad principles that apply to every company or organisation: get the facts, communicate them responsibly, and know your audience. Communication is evolving quickly, offering us more options than ever before. 

A succinct, quality crisis communication plan requires clarity on the purpose of engaging with stakeholders, influencing who will be engaged, how they will be engaged and what to engage on; using a mix of engagement methods through an approach that is tailored to suit the purpose and the stakeholders; viewing stakeholders as partners in delivery as they can inject new ideas and help identify risks; and planning and reviewing engagement to get the most out of interactions.

From scenario planning to execution of real time crisis management strategies, we can quickly help you navigate any unforeseen event or episode. We also offer clients our bespoke crisis management alert tool which provides early warning of an impending crisis.

We can work with your organisation remotely or on site, in South Africa, across the continent and internationally.
