Corporate Excellence and Dircom hold the First Conference on Innovation in Metrics

Madrid, March 10th, 2014. The importance of intangible assets as a management and value creation tool is clear. One of Corporate Excellence’s key objectives is to demonstrate the economic impact of intangible assets and resources. The truth is that the new reputation-driven economic system needs reliable and rigorous long-term indicators such as brand, reputation, employees’ commitment and customer satisfaction. These indicators help companies to engage their stakeholders and develop long-term strategies. This was the starting point of the 1st Conference on Innovation in Metrics held last week in Madrid by Corporate Excellence jointly with one of its key allies, Dircom Spain. José Manuel Velasco, Dircom’s President, emphasized that one of the main challenges faced by Communication Directors today is to demonstrate the value of intangible assets internally in order to secure adequate resources for their management. In his turn, Corporate Excellence’s President Jose Luis González-Besada, said that today competition is not about size, price or any other financial variable – it is all about reputation. And competition over reputation emphasizes the importance of respect, admiration, empathy and support of all those who play the key role in organizations’ continuity – their stakeholders. This focus introduces a new way of doing business – a long-term multistakeholder approach to management. The first session titled The Methodology and Process of Defining Identity and Culture was presided by Mariano Maqueda, Partner and Director of Punto de Fuga, and María Such, Manager for Corporate Reputation at BBVA. It was discussed the case of identity-based redefinition of BBVA’s vision from within and the impulse that a shared culture may give a company, uniting its employees in the understanding of the common direction. Qualitative research tools played the key role in this process as well as the support provided by the top management. Millward Brown, represented by Pepe Martinez, Director & Marketing Responsible, and Adolfo Fernández, Client Service Director Madrid Office, presented its Brand Equity Model designed for identifying associations evoked by the corporate brand and thus determining its main competitive advantage. Both speakers argued that the area where brands can relate to their stakeholders is content creation. Carmen Dato, Director of Villafane & Asociados, presented the Commercial Reputation Index; while Beverly Nannini, Director at Reputation Institute, talked about the reputational risk management model. Macarena Estevez, Conento’s CEO argued that metrics are essential since they are the only way to improvement and talked about 6 key conditions that ensure their effectiveness: Involvement of the top management; 50 /50 distribution of financial and non-financial indicators in the company’s measurement structure; Regular reporting; Clarity about expectations; Combination of short-term and long-term vision; The more just in time, the better. The session titled Digital Spaces featured Juan Cardona, Reputation and Stakeholders Director at Llorente & Cuenca, who presented the 3rd issue of Online Comments Report – a methodology developed by Llorente & Cuenca together with Corporate Excellence to measure the impact of messages published online on corporate reputation. The methodology is used by 71 companies from seven countries. This presentation was followed by Sergi Guillot, Acceso’s CEO, who talked about Big Data, and José Carlos Martínez Lozoya, Corporate Reputation Manager at Iberdrola, who discussed the measurement tools used by his company. The speakers agreed that companies need to employ professionals with some new profiles in order to successfully manage these tools. Closing remarks were made by Ángel Alloza, CEO of Corporate Excellence – Centre for Reputation Leadership, and Sebastián Cebrián, General Director of Dircom Spain. Alloza and Cebrián emphasized the importance of incorporating non-financial indicators into balanced scorecards. Intangible assets are already on the top managers’ agenda, but in order to strengthen their position it is important to demonstrate their contribution to business and value generation.

Llorente&Cuenca and Corporate Excellence present the 3rd issue of Online Comments Analysis

Madrid. March 6, 2014. Llorente&Cuenca and Corporate Excellence – Centre for Reputation Leadership are presenting the 3rd issue of Online Comments Analysis, an analysis model designed for evaluating the impact of online messages on corporate reputation. This year 78,896 URLs, 45,063 references, 71 corporate brands and 16 industries were analyzed by 7 dimensions of reputation (Products and Services, Financial Results, Innovation, Workplace, Leadership, Governance and Citizenship). “The huge impact of new technologies has accelerated social changes that lead to more complicated relations between companies and their numerous stakeholders. The Internet turned everyone into potential producers of information”, says Ángel Alloza, the CEO of Corporate Excellence – Centre for Reputation Leadership, and goes on to add that “in this context, organizations should be aware that it is their responsibility to manage their reputation properly, making the most of those aspects that add value and correcting those aspects that are not welcomed by the public”. This year’s report highlights the fact that Consumer Electronics, analyzed this year for the first time, is the most popular sector by references and points to the fact that these references are mostly positive. “This good result is driven by companies’ efforts to launch innovative products and services, their easy adjustment to changes, business innovations as well as the ability to communicate a good organizational structure and clear vision of the future”, says Iván Pino, Online Communications Director at LLORENTE & CUENCA, Spain and Portugal. Hotels is among those sectors that experienced most significant changes by awareness as compared to previous years. It should also be noted that Oil and Gas companies saw an important improvement in the tone of their stakeholders’ comments - largely due to the companies’ ability to communicate their progress in the way they treat their employees. In terms of the profile of those users who publish their opinions and comments on the Internet, the report shows that “public opinion” drifted from neutral position towards more critical stance. Another important trend is the proliferation of journalists’ professional profiles in different networks. Journalists are the group that generates most information, especially with respect to such subjects as growth potential, profit, the quality of products and services and customer service. The report also shows that Google retains its top positions by awareness for the third year running, which means that this network generates best awareness results for companies. Besides, the quality of these comments increased as compared to the results of 2011 and 2012. About BEO BEO is a research tool designed to evaluate the impact of online comments on corporate reputation. The model has been applied to more than 70 organizations from seven countries. BEO methodology was included into the short list of the Digital Communication Awards 2013 in the category of Digital Monitoring and Evaluation. Full text of the study.

Corporate Excellence and Llorente & Cuenca Present The Analysis of Online Comments

The pilot issue of The Analysis of Online Comments (BEO) designed for analysing comments about organisations made on the web and estimating their impact on corporate reputation is the fruit of cooperation between Corporate Excellence – Centre for Reputation Leadership and R+D Llorente & Cuenca, The Centre for Ideas, Analysis and Trends at Llorente & Cuenca. The study identifies the main opportunities and reputational risk areas for a company, sector, dimension, stakeholder or online platform. More specifically, it sets forth results of an analysis of 32,000 URLs, 15,200 references, 41 brands and 11 sectors at such online platforms as the real-time network Twitter, social network Facebook, multimedia network Youtube and hypertextual network Google. The Analysis is a biannual study aimed at in-depth investigation of numerous opinions and spontaneous comments made about a brand by its stakeholders as well as its relation with the dimensions that constitute corporate reputation in accordance with the RepTrak™ model suggested by the Reputation Institute and developed jointly with the Forum for Corporate Reputation – the model that became one of the global standards for measuring corporate reputation. According to Adolfo Corujo, Partner and Director for Online Communication at Llorente & Cuenca, the study allows an organisation to identify the trends and anticipate their reputational impact. The idea is to find a relationship between the information published on the Internet and the reputation index Reptrak Pulse in order to incorporate these insights in the company’s strategy. Ivan Pino, Director for Communication at Llorente & Cuenca believes that companies still have a long way to go in order to build dialogue with their clients and adapt their contents to the hypertextual environment. Pino goes on to say that the results of the study show that Marketing and Communication departments of companies pay a lot of attention to the social network Facebook and post audio and video content on Youtube. However, the lowest evaluation scores have been observed in the hypertextual resources: blogs, forums, websites, news portals and other web formats. The conclusion is that the variables used in The Analysis of Online Comments(awareness and recognition) enable companies to estimate their positions on the Internet. It is important because today favourable positioning in the online environment with 2,000 mn interconnected users is key for improving reputation of companies.

New think tank to promote corporate reputation

Largest spanish companies have joined together to professionalize the brand and reputation management globally The major Spanish corporations have joined together to launch a centre of excellence named “Corporate Excellence - Centre for Reputation Leadership”, a think-tank to promote corporate brand and reputation management as a strategic driver to achieve business excellence. For that, Corporate Excellence will develop its activities in six areas: reputation, brand, communication, public affairs, metrics and training. Among the founders of this new think-tank are BBVA, La Caixa, Iberdrola, Repsol, Santander and Telefónica. These companies represent 65% of the selective Spanish Index IBEX35 (250 million of euros in stock market capitalization). Also, relevant public and private corporations have joined this initiative including Adif, Agbar, Bankinter, Correos, Danone, El Corte Inglés, Gas Natural Fenosa, Meliá Hotels International and Renfe. This group of companies has more than 750.000 employees in 82 countries. The Foundation was created with a threefold objective: to consolidate the management of brand and corporate reputation as strategic key driver to achieve business excellence, to introduce the role of the Chief Reputation Officer (CRO) to the companies executive organization chart and show the financial profitability of intangibles assets into financial results. International benchmark Under the tagline: "leading by reputation", Corporate Excellence-Centre for Reputation Leadership aspires to become a global point of reference of innovation, professionalism, technical and ethical rigor, focusing on helping companies to develop and manage their intangible assets and contribute to social development by raising the consideration of corporate governance in a long-term and encouraging a new relationship between corporations and social media. Corporate Excellence- Centre for Reputation Leadership is the result of experience obtained over the last decade by the “Foro de Reputación Corporativa” (founded in 2002) and the “Instituto de Análisis de Intangibles” (founded in 2004), both now part of this new think-tank. The foundation is lead by Luis Abril, Chief Reputation Officer and General Technical Secretary for the Chairman´s Office and Chief Reputation Officer of Telefonica, and Ángel Alloza as CEO. From its beginning, Corporate Excellence- Centre for Reputation Leadership will have an important international activity. To achieve it, this new think-tank will work through diverse alliances with the main institutions dedicated to the analysis and research of intangibles assets. Ten years of experience The internationalization process of the major Spanish Corporations early in the last decade, helped make aware to top executives the relevance of corporate reputation and strategic intangible assets. In 2002, four large Spanish Corporations (Agbar, BBVA, Telefónica and Repsol) created the Foro de Reputación Corporativa (fRC) as a collaborative space to fill the gaps in management models and provide tools on corporate reputation and its contribution for the creation of corporate value. Ten years later, 15 large Spanish Corporations were members of the fRC. The need to create a solid doctrine about the value of intangibles assets and its management, led the creation of the “Instituto de Análisis de Intangibles” in 2004, promoted by a group of companies, consultants, business schools and organizations. The IAI has developed a fruitful work in this field, attracting more than 45 partners to develop its projects. Challenges and opportunities In the current globalization context, where high competitiveness and expectations of consumers and stakeholders increase, corporations and institutions face the challenge of integrate the areas dedicated to manage their corporate affairs (corporate communication, brand management, institutional relations, shareholders relations, etc.) in order to present themselves with a coherent and consistent message that generates confidence and trust to their stakeholders. Corporate Excellence - Centre for Reputation Leadership was created to professionalize the management of corporate reputation and intangible assets, thus contributing to the leadership of strong brands with good reputation and able to compete in global environments. In this context, one of its main goals is to promote a new business function: the Chief Reputation Officer (CRO). “The excellence in communication, brand and reputation management is an opportunity for all that companies who bet to create inside the organization a new function able to integrate the management of all kind of communications and strategic intangibles”, says Luis Abril.
