A Full Service Global Management Consulting and Executive Training Firm
"It takes twenty years to build a reputation
and five minutes to destroy it."
Warren Buffet, CEO, Berkshire Hathaway
Based upon an innovative and interactive approach to reputational risk management (RRM), RMAI is a broad-based risk assessment and crisis response firm, combining the skills of experienced consultants from around the world. We specialize in the development of tailored programs for companies and organizations of all sizes and professions. RMAI provides focused and timely approaches to the risk avoidance and reputational management practices essential in today's markets. Services include board and senior executive consulting, review and revision of existing programs, the development, testing, initiation, and oversight of new programs and, when necessary, rapid response to crisis situations.
The rapidly changing expectations of shareholders, stakeholders, regulators, and governments require that boards and executive officers have in place a focused and usable risk management plan. Yet fewer than 20% of companies do so. The approach required is also not merely the responsibility of public relations, human resources, or corporate legal and accounting departments. This is an organizational-wide requirement. Recent changes in statute now make board members and senior executives liable for a range of risk matters almost unknown a few years ago. Ignorance is no longer either an excuse or an acceptable defense.
Reputation damage can harm organizations of all sizes and activities. Yet it remains the most misunderstood and poorly managed of all corporate risk management strategies. In today's global marketplace, without a corporate-wide designed and implemented strategy, reputational risk can become a pervasive organizational nightmare.
"Ignoring risk is like sleeping on a time bomb"
