Reputational Risk Analysis
Companies in today’s competitive and increasingly public business environment need to be able to identify unconventional risks that may affect their public standing and thus, in turn, the value of their company.
While a company’s activities may, at first glance, seem harmless, not only the media but an increasing number of highly active pressure groups can make even the slightest error a very public issue on an international stage.
Perhaps more importantly still, for those companies operating in developing nations, is the manner in which they maintain their reputations with local populations. Certain companies need to be aware that their activities may engender severe animosity from local inhabitants for a wide variety of reasons, if they are not established and managed correctly.
PRO analysts can identify such potential problems, even at a pre-project planning stage so that the correct safeguards can be put in place in order to prevent any such fallout. Furthermore, if the problem has only just come to light, our team can help formulate a crisis management/damage limitation strategy to ensure any fallout is kept to an absolute minimum.
