360° Reputation Management by Sparring Partners
With its 360° methodology Sparring Partners helps its worldwide clientele to anchor a systemic reputation management approach within the organisation and corporate culture.
Based on a qualitative survey of the organisation’s existing reputation among stakeholders and identified deficiencies Sparring Partners develops a holistic program of activities which encompasses all stakeholders and their expectations towards the organisation with respect to so called reputation drivers such as corporate culture & responsibility, quality, innovation, communication, governance or compliance.
In a subsequent step Sparring Partners supports its clients to train their staff top-down in order to ensure a consistent implementation. Each employee is given a guidance for implementing and living the programme. Although a line manager or receptionist have a totally different field of activity, they should act on the same shared principles and code of conduct. Only then a consistent and sound reputation can be built over time. Follow-up surveys measure the progress of the program and reveals potential for further improvement.
Sparring Partners has successfully applied its unique methodology including the aspect of reputation risk management across a number of different industries.
„A consistently implemented reputation management programme secures every company independent of size or industry a leading position as an employer, responsible and responsive corporate citizen and business partner in times of diversity, gender equality, employer branding and increasing ecological consciousness.“

The result:
The Stakeholder Value-Enterprise
A Stakeholder Value-Company is characterized by the deep-rooted capability of forging and sustainably consolidating a „Win-Win“-relationship with all internal (employees, shareholders) and external stakeholders (Clients, Partners, Media, NGOs etc.) throughout the entire value creation process. By building on a broad network the company will accomplish its objectives more efficiently, will be more resistant against crises and will enhance its reputation as a responsible Corporate Citizen.
The Transformation from Shareholder Value- to Stakeholder Value-Enterprise is nothing less than a change of paradigm linked with a more open Corporate Culture and mindset of all employees, enhanced transparency and a prospective interpretation of the company’s role in the society.
