Speaking Topics
Reputation – Always at Risk
An institution’s and individual’s reputation is always at risk, and if you do not believe that, just google the topic. From personal scandals to business malpractice, the list of reputation risk failure are staggering. What is Reputation, and why should you protect it all cost? This riveting presentation, does not just offer a timeline of disasters, but also prompts the audience to play a part in the protection of an institution’s biggest, yet most fragile asset.
Stakeholder Reputation
An institution derives its reputation from the way it is perceived by its various stakeholders. These perceptions are influenced by the performance, behavior and ethical decision-making in the institution. This presentation examines the interface and importance of stakeholder relationships, engagement and communication.
Trouble has struck ! What Now? Restoring Reputation
Research shows that it can take anything between 4 to 11 years to restore a damaged reputation. How do you restore your reputation? How can you fast track your move back to the top? This presentation covers concepts and ideas that an institution or individual can use to restore a damaged reputation.
Crisis! What Crisis? (A Storm in a Teacup?)
Crises have the ability to destroy relationships, impact market share and create unnecessary and unwanted expenditure beyond budgeting forecasts. Often the ability to respond in a crisis depends on the level of awareness by management to recognise symptoms and react and respond appropriately. This presentation examines the phases of a crisis and the need for a level of preparedness in an organisation.
I spoke to soon! (Words in a Crisis can damage)
Communicating correctly in a crisis is vital and often the most important difference between a damaging crisis and a just a temporary incident. Research shows that crises will hit even the best companies. How we react and communicate is vital to creating the correct perception in stakeholders minds. This presentation examines the importance of correct communication response and what to say and not say in a crisis situation.
Restoring the Financial Sector’s Reputation
From Barings Bank(Nick Leeson) to Jerome Kierval (Societe Generale) to Bernie Madoff. The list goes on. If there is one industry whose reputation has taken a nosedive it is the financial services industry. The problem is that whether issues have been macro or micro, it has damaged the reputation of the industry. It is vital that players in this industry understand their role in restoring faith and trust.
One writer once said that a successful marriage is very much like a beautiful tapestry – it is depended on all the little stitches that goes in to make the final product. The same lesson applies. Faith and trust starts on a basic level and from there it is translated into a better reputation. This presentation examines the mistrust that has erupted and suggests key leverage points (those small, well-focused actions that can, when used at the right time and in the right place, produce significant, lasting benefits exponentially beyond the effort required to take the action step itself…) to restore trust.
