Business Reputation Panel

February 20, 2019 at 7:30 am EST

 

You’re invited to learn from a deeply experienced panel of high-level experts as they discuss how to build, strengthen, and defend reputations. When crisis strikes your company (not if, but when!), do YOU know what to do? And is your business’ reputation prepared to take the hit?

Crises are emotionally charged turning points that bring about swift, radical change. Instability leads to undesirable outcomes that cost time, money, customers, careers and, in the worst of scenarios, lives. Crises can be natural, like an earthquake, or human-induced, like civil unrest. Crises can be sudden or smoldering, high-impact or low-impact. Sometimes organizations and people recover. Many times, they do not.
Have you done everything you can to reduce your points of exposure and create a sense of organizational muscle memory? When an event occurs, are you confident and in a position to turn short-term adversity into long-term advantage?

Please join us at Skyline Technology Solutions as we discuss how to tell your business’ story and build your reputational equity.
