closeour story
CORPORATE EXCELLENCE - CENTRE FOR REPUTATION LEADERSHIP is a non-profit foundation, although we prefer to call ourselves a think tank, a LABORATORY OF IDEAS AND APPLIED KNOWLEDGE created to promote professionalism in the area of managing key INTANGIBLE ASSETS, such as reputation, brand, communication, public affairs, relations with stakeholders, sustainability, corporate responsibility, good governance, innovation and talent. We use ADVANCED METRICS to evaluate these assets’ impact on business as well as risk exposure.
The foundation was created as the result of a merger of the Corporate Reputation Forum (established in 2002) and the Institute for Intangibles’ Analysis (established in 2004). We therefore have a fifteen years’ experience of research in the area of intangibles’ management.
Dedicated to our vision that MANAGEMENT OF INTAGIBLE ASSETS TRANSFORMS COMPANIES INTO EXCELLENT ORGANIZATIONS, members of the foundation share the corporate slogan «Leading by Reputation», which addresses the challenges of the new economic cycle, where companies compete to achieve trust and recognition of their stakeholders.


The essence of our cooperation identity is projected in our ECOSYSTEM OF ALLIANCES which brings together academics, consultants and professionals. Creation of this solid alliance network and “cooperation nodes” enabled us during all these years to make progress in the area of intangibles, to solidify concepts, to create and implement management models and indicators.

Our R+D+I model is based on generating alliances with leading experts and internationally acclaimed figures in Corporate Excellence’s activity areas. Jointly we promote our R+D+I and research projects and compare obtained information to our members’ experience.
This first step of innovative cooperation allows us to validate our models and promote the creation of international standards that will strengthen intangibles’ management worldwide.
