Business reputation and brand sustainability frequently materialize overtime, not-so-much perhaps from a specific creative cubicle, conference room meeting, or focus group, rather…
- via well-intentioned, personal, and felt mission statements, which variously and inelegantly converge overtime,
- which frame and are eventually recognized as preferred benefits, value-add’s, and ROI’s to – for holders and investors.
kpstrat encourages business reputation and brand be differentiated insofar as contributory roles and value to competitive advantage and revenue generation, e.g.,
- the initial framers, describers, and pitchers of a business’s reputation and brand,
should, necessarily be differentiated from
2. on-the-ground, front-line interpreters, converters, messengers, and exhibitors of a business’s reputation – brand,
relative to contributions to a desired- favorable business operating culture
3. further differentiated as collectives – collaboratives of assemblers, distinguishers, explainers, and deliverers for a particular-product and/or service.
any one of which affect how others, i.e., consumers – clients, etc., assigning value.
kpstrat experientially concludes, in circumstances when – if 1, 2, 3 (above) may be variously un-monitored, unattended, and become out-of-sync, represent preludes for risk to reputation – brand likely emerges and potentially cascades at keystroke speeds…
- perhaps irreversibly, throughout an enterprise to undermine at keystroke speed, the
- attractivity, value, competitive advantage, and revenue generation capability. of a particular (targeted) product or service.
kpstrat argues (business) leadership and investor’s comparably, are
- fiduciarily obliged to recognize, characterize, and execute a business’s reputation and brand management safeguards as combinations, collectives, and collaboratives…
- underwritten – enabled by ‘relationship capital’ consistently exhibited – expressed throughout an enterprise by leadership, management teams, and employees, which, in turn,
- translate – convert same as distinguishable and articulatable competitive advantage and revenue generating ‘operating cultures’
which are evident, in plain sight, not hidden.
Key underliers – foundations to (business) reputation and branding, are obliged to be understood – recognized as always being in…
- plain view as each is current + prospective consumers and clients,
- either is vulnerable – receptive to being maliciously and unceremoniously undermined and out paced by arrays of ill-conceived actions and/or adverse behaviors, which can
- surface, be delivered, and can cascade @ keystroke speed by expanding arrays of (time, place, circumstance) economic – competitive advantage or agenda driven adversaries.
Business leaders – investors inclined to circumstantially – experientially argue there are fiduciarily defensible options or shortcuts to…
- frame reputation – brand risk vulnerability – probability – critically, and
- remediation of same merely involves a near term remake and restore,
- seldom, if ever, should such near-sightedness be construed as sustainably favorable.
kpstrat argues (more likely) the pressurized convenience of that perspective, will likely be assessed ex post facto as wishful – simplistic near-sightedness.
Business reputation – brand risks today, and for the foreseeable future, stem largely from aggressively predatorial, at will, targeted, and keystroke speed sources committed – released online by a range of antagonists, rivals, and/or opponents who wish to create – cause (human) discomfort and (business) harm.
inclinations to understate, defer, or convey dismissiveness to these obvious fiduciary obligations to ‘mitigate sooner than later’ seldom can be miraculously converted…
