Who we are
In business we all know the value of a good reputation and how much of a liability a bad one is; yet many organisations fail to appreciate drivers of their own reputation and put their value at risk.
Chiron is an authority on reputation risk; advising a wide variety of organisations on strategy to protect value and prevent damage.
How we do it
At Chiron we understand that although repair of reputation damage is essentially a communication challenge, the root cause of reputational damage is always behavioural, sometimes even cultural.
We have an approach based on a proven 3 step process: Predict, Prepare & Protect.

Sectors
Damage to organisations isn’t always financial and can have a different impact in different sectors: private, public and professional.
Private
Most of our work in the private sector relates to damage from a loss of investor confidence reflected in share value decline.
Public
In the public sector damage tends to come from a loss of confidence in public service provision, which is reflected in government policy.
Professional
A partnership structure throws up unique reputational challenges for partners nurturing client relationships to protect fee income.

Why us?
Reputation protection is a strategic yet collective responsibility, and damage is always a consequence of prior operational oversights or failures.
Most repair providers focus on single stakeholder solutions depending on their expertise; Chiron is the only one to take a holistic view.
We do not focus on communicating with media as Public Relations agencies will do in crisis handling.
We do not focus on Westminster and the political preferment of lobbying agencies.
We do not focus on Investor Relations issues which talk only to shareholders and brokers.
We approach reputation risk as a holistic topic requiring a holistic approach, which is multi-stakeholder.
