Set a realistic target state for continuous reputation monitoring and a defensible route to it.
Building Continuous Corporate Reputation Monitoring Systems Across Channels
Move continuous reputation monitoring from general awareness to a repeatable, reviewable practice.
Course Overview
Reputation built over years is re-assessed publicly within hours when continuous reputation monitoring is mishandled. The first version of a story about this part of communications and media practice tends to become the reference version. Applied research in communications and media practice consistently shows that early structure around this area of communications and media practice reduces downstream rework. The content is relevant to those who own continuous reputation monitoring and to those who are held accountable for its results. They leave able to brief senior management on this strand of communications and media practice in terms that support a decision. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of this part of communications and media practice and prepares them for it. The difficulty is not agreeing that continuous reputation monitoring matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. It establishes a shared vocabulary for the wider communications and media practice agenda so that teams can disagree productively about it. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for this strand of communications and media practice rather than a set of notes.
