Pre-Conference Workshop: 13 October 2008
LEADING YOUR COMPANY THROUGH THE POTENTIAL REPUTATION PITFALLS OF THE MINING INDUSTRY
In today’s mining industry a company’s reputation is essential not only to existing shareholders/stakeholders but also for the company’s ability to create and develop new industry partnerships, maintain and enhance its license to operate, and to ensure future growth.
This workshop has been specially created to help mining industry leaders assess their organisation’s preparedness to protect their reputation from both chronic and acute reputational risks, and provide
insights on how to capitalise on their reputation to achieve their business goals.
Interactive group-work sessions will include insights from recent work with both large and small mining companies, as well as case studies from the workshop leaders’ extensive work in the oil and gas sector. The workshop will focus on…
From financial to operational: what are the key reputation risks in the extractives industry – both in the Middle East, and for Middle East companies investing in mining elsewhere in the world?
Issues management in mining: equipping your company with best practice systems and capabilities to identify and confidently manage ‘above ground’ reputation risks.
Interactive case study: illustrating the specialist discipline of protecting your corporate reputation in a crisis situation. A crisis happens suddenly, with immediate and intense scrutiny. Without effective leadership, good decisions and timely communication, reputations built over many years can evaporate in an instant.
Making the most of your corporate reputation: techniques to tactically deploy mining companies’ recognised strengths to build relationships with key decision-makers among potential industry partners and resource-holding governments, including in the Middle East.
