Reputation strategy

A strong reputation drives business. Trust in your organization helps in sales, recruitment, financing – in relationships with all relevant stakeholders. What is your reputation strategy? 

Reputation management builds on situational awareness. A reputation strategy determines key stakeholders – and their views, expectations, and desires. It recognizes shifts in the operational environment and your enterprise's unique reputation potential. It encapsulates the purpose, the core narrative, and the customer promise of a company seeking growth and enhanced presence. The result is a common direction in effective communications, marketing, and sales.

Crisis foresight

Reputational crisis management is about business-critical foresight. Scenario-based issues management reduces the risk of crisis activation and increases the organization's ability to respond to unexpected events.

Crisis simulation

 

 

Netprofile's Crisis Lab simulation is an intensive drill that improves individual and team crisis communications skills through role play. How does the team react to the various stages of an escalating crisis? Will they settle into their crisis roles – and will they be able to build trust in the face of mounting criticism and pressure?

An organization's success depends on its stakeholders’ trust – the level of which is determined by the way organizational leadership engages with its key stakeholders.

The Crisis Lab coaching session is conducted by Netprofile's experts in media, business, and public affairs. They will brief the team in on crisis communications principles, and the group will go through the takeaways of the simulation together. The exercise will improve the team’s ability to reign in a raging crisis in the traditional and social media, and among stakeholders.

The crisis communication simulation is part of our H72 cyber crisis management concept.

Change communications

Organisaation muutostilanteissa strategisen hallinnan merkitys korostuu. Miten ylläpidetään henkilökunnan motivaatiota esimerkiksi toimintatapojen uudistuksessa tai tietojärjestelmien käyttöönotossa? Miten varmistetaan muutoksen avainhenkilöiden tietojen ja taitojen riittävyys? Muutostilanteen viestintä on herkkä paikka – sen onnistumisesta riippuu organisaation tulevaisuus.

Impact Strategy -metodiikassa muutosta hallitaan tehokkaaksi osoitetun rakenteen kautta. Konsulttimme tekevät muutoksen logiikasta ymmärrettävää. Autamme kartoittamaan vaaranpaikat sekä tunnistamaan ja valmentamaan sisäiset lähettiläät tehtäväänsä. Teemme usein myös yksilötason pitkäkestoista sparrausta, jonka kautta avainhenkilöistä itsestään tulee muutosviestinnän erikoisosaajia.

A new business strategy, M&A, changes at the top. At times of organizational change, strategic reputation management is paramount. 
How do you build and strengthen staff motivation when the world around us changes? How do you ensure that the key people driving change have adequate knowledge and skills to communicate what is happening? 

Change communications is critical – the future of the organization depends on it. 

Netprofile’s Impact Strategy methodology manages change through a structure that works in real-life projects. Our experienced consultants help build trust in the future and make change understandable and acceptable. 

Industry relations

More and more stakeholders expect enterprises to engage in building a better society. Influence starts with knowing whom to talk to. The next step is to understand what to talk about – and what your organization can bring to the conversation and society. 

Netprofile has more than 20 years of experience within the Finnish technology sector. We know the influencers in all stakeholder groups, from enterprises to decision makers. We help you create and roll out a strong industry relations roadmap. Being a force for good supports your business. As an industry influencer, you establish positive relationships and find new business for your organization. 

Media training

Interviews with the media are a perfect opportunity for experts and executives alike to deliver their narrative to key target groups. Articulate and convincing performance in the media has a great impact on the organization's ability to turn a profit. Strong performance skills are particularly important when the organization becomes a target for negative attention.

Strategia mediavalmennus-1

 

Success as a presenter and spokesperson is not a happy accident. We structure our media training around the fundamental techniques of world-class delivery, including a CxO level dive into the mechanics of difficult interview situations. On-camera performance and peer learning are at the core of our training sessions.

Our Coaching Clinic sessions build on the principles of dialogic pedagogy. The process starts with an analysis of trainee skills, followed by mapping individual strengths and opportunities. Our coaches have trained hundreds of executives and spokespeople to represent their organization successfully in the public eye. 

We also regularly media train individuals for exceptional circumstances.

Thought leadership training

Welcome to the age of stakeholder capitalism! With the advances of communication technology, more and more organizations need to consider a widening array of stakeholder opinions. Audiences expect enterprises to comment on, and even to lead, societal development. On a global scale, numerous successful companies already have an activist leader.

Thought leadership works for the benefit of the organization. It also provides food for thought and increases individual brand value. Many aspire to become a thought leader. But where does one find the insights that resonate within the target audience? How does one reach a relevant public, and what does one say to them?

Netprofile builds thought leadership using proprietary Coaching Clinic methodology. Work begins by determining the strategic objectives and relevant thought leadership channels. In the next phase, our advisory centers on sprints of individual coaching. The coach’s job is to make themself redundant as the organization and its representative take control of their own destiny.

Broadcaster – presenter training

The explosion of popularity in podcasts, webcasts, and webisodes is evident in the skyrocketing standard of presenter skills. Initially, content production was fueled by swift enthusiasm, but an increasing number of broadcasts showcase strong focus on quality. In a B2B environment, content needs to be meaningful, and production value has become key in attracting audiences. Therefore, corporate presenters need broadcast-level chops to excel in their roles.

Netprofile's Broadcaster training employs our Coaching Clinic methodology. Our experienced media producers provide you with the tools of a professional presenter and interviewer. The hands-on training covers, for instance, the basics of healthy speaking habits, establishing rapport with the audience, appropriate register, and handy techniques for scriptwriting and editing.

We designed the Broadcaster training to lift your enterprise audio and video content to a whole new level.

Analytics

Successful business decisions are based on data. An evidence-based approach is also vital in defining your reputation strategy. 

Netprofile's Impact Strategy projects typically begin with a survey phase, where we collect and analyze data required for the planning process. Qualitative thematic surveys, which we complement with quantitative data as relevant, are our specialty. As part of our services, we produce surveys, reviews, and reports on our customers' business and industry, supporting stakeholder engagement and building industry relations. 

We help your organization convert data into a language your stakeholders appreciate.
