Reputational Risk: Don't expose your brand to the court of public opinion

When your organization's reputation is damaged, so is the value of your brand.  Your clients, partners, investors and stakeholders no longer see you the same way - their trust in you erodes. Sometimes, an organization never fully recovers from the damage.

The relentless speed of communication fueled by social media and digital news means that your organization could be under widespread public scrutiny before you even know there's a problem.

In this session, you will learn:

• What is reputational risk?
  Why is it important and why is it so hard to deal with?
• How can risk be managed?
  What needs to work well within your organization in order to reduce your risk?
• What should be done before a crisis occurs?
  How should you prepare for an issue before it happens?

If you want to understand and manage your reputational risk, this lunch and learn is for you.
