Online Training: Learn How To Mitigate Stakeholder Reputation Risk (16 – 17 August Online)

Stakeholder Reputation Risk is regarded worldwide as one of the most difficult risks to manage. Stakeholder Reputation Risk emerges when the reasonable expectations of stakeholders are not met.

To adequately understand this dynamic, delegates need a thorough grounding in understanding both Stakeholder Management and Reputation Risk Mitigation processes.

To create this training, I have combined key takeaways from my Stakeholder Reputation, Reputation Risk Management, and Crisis Management training masterclasses with the latest thinking from reputation risk management practices, strategic communication, risk management, ethics, community relations, marketing, stakeholder management, organizational behavior, sustainability, and corporate governance literature.

The online program is designed to show business leaders and managers how to establish an excellent reputation with; and maintain positive, mutually beneficial relationships with stakeholders and minimize potential risk.

An Organisation’s reputation is derived from how stakeholders perceive the organization, its communication, and behavior in the markets in which it operates. Risk emerges when these perceptions and tools do not fulfill their reasonable expectations.

In order to effectively manage the interface between an organization and its stakeholders a number of issues and topics have to be taken care of, including:

– Understanding How and Why Reputation Risk emerge;
– Understanding how to profile stakeholders i.e. Who are our stakeholders and what do they want and need?
– Being clear on what we want from and need from our stakeholders;
– Understanding the strategies that need to be in place to mitigate risk and satisfy stakeholder needs and wants and create long-term collaborative relationships;
– Understanding the processes that need to be put in place to enable the execution of strategies and minimize risk;
– An understanding of the capabilities that need to be put in place to make these processes work;
– Understanding how to mitigate both reputation erosion and reputation risk events if and when they occur.

The workshop offers an integrated framework for managing stakeholder management relationships, as well as practical tools that can be used for developing and improving existing relationships, and mitigate potential reputation risks.

It is also important to take a look at my standard Stakeholder Reputation Management Training Course‘s outline and learning agenda as I incorporate and weave most of that information into this training.

This workshop explores practical methods and tips to market a consulting practice dynamically and cost-effectively.

The workshop is an opportunity for independent professionals, consultants,  business development managers and professional sales persons to deepen their learning as marketing strategists, strengthen their consultancy marketing skills and ability to be rainmakers*.

More information on how to register is available at:  https://www.deonbinneman.com/marketing-professional-consulting-services/

Background Information:

Every independent professional needs a marketing and sales plan in 2018 that constantly generates new clients and prospects. This one day workshop will provide valuable insight into building and implementing a winning program to build a client base that will exceed a delegate’s expectations.

Delegates will receive tools, tips and hacks that will provide them with a menu of options to identify what is missing from their current marketing activities, and it will enable them to create their own personalized marketing plan for success.

Using detailed worksheets and exercises, delegates will be able to pinpoint the strengths and weaknesses of their current efforts. This powerful workshop will provide delegates with a set of options and simple, elegant and effective tactics that they can incorporate into their marketing plans.

This constantly updated and revised workshop is based on more than 25 years of international and local research amongst consultants, professional service providers, rainmakers and business development managers, and takes an in-depth look at what works and doesn’t work in professional services and consulting marketing. It includes not only a wealth of tips and hacks, but also information on how to take advantage of new developments in the online world.

Delegates will learn how to integrate online and offline marketing approaches, and will also learn how to:

  • Become Rainmakers*
  • Use social media to their advantage
  • Use Internet marketing techniques such as blogging, email campaigns, design, search engine optimization and online networking techniques
  • Become known as thought leaders and extend their influence and reputation

* The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines the word “Rainmaker” as a person (as a partner in a law firm for example) who brings in new business; also: a person whose influence can initiate progress or ensure success. Specialists often find in their careers that as they become associates or partners that they now also have to bring in new business. Often this transition from being a producer and a specialist to becoming a marketer and responsible for new business, influence and sales can be difficult for individuals used to traditional ways of doing things. This workshop will help a delegate to become a rainmaker, influencer and a thought leader.
