Our experience within this sector includes:
advice to a government agency whose initiatives risked being linked to bad practice by investigative journalists
advice to a major government department on the launch of a flagship policy that had considerable risks relating to IT failure, payment delay and fraud
working with a government regulator to improve stakeholder communication from partnership organisations in the event of a growing political or media issue
working with a public service provider to deliver a stakeholder management audit across the UK and train the UK communications team to deliver in-house media training program.
Everyone is a customer of, and shareholder in, the public sector. Change, whether good or bad, will inevitably prompt scrutiny amongst this wide stakeholder group.
From ongoing losses of sensitive data, to problems with the launch of the tax credit system in 2003 and the ongoing controversy over the introduction of ID cards, flagship projects undertaken by government develop against the backdrop of a watchful political and media environment.
This level of interest brings with it a unique set of reputation risks both to the department leading the project and any private sector partners involved. As specialist reputation strategy and management consultancy, Regester Larkin has extensive experience of helping organisations manage these risks. We can work with you throughout the lifespan of the project, providing advice and support from inception to implementation and beyond.
